| How We Determine Our Grades | |
After watching a movie with your children or students, we encourage parents and teachers to look for education opportunities to teach with movies. Here are a few discussion topics that can help with lesson plans or teaching in the home.
This movie says, “A hero is the one who, no matter how hard, does what he knows is right.” How does this statement differ from the types of heroes we often see portrayed in media?
The three main characters in this film are all given opportunities to overcome their fears thanks to being presented with a difficult, yet achievable, challenge. Do you see your challenges as opportunities to grow? How does our attitude toward adversity alter our ability to cope with difficult circumstances?
