| 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.
Fender offers Rodney some encouraging words like; “If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere—and if you can’t make it here, welcome to the club.” How does his humor help the starry-eyed dreamer come to terms with reality? How can you balance hope and disappointment?
How do the various characters respond as the situation for the outmoded machines becomes more desperate? How do they stop being the victim of their circumstances and begin to take control of their situation? Could you make a similar attitude adjustment in your life?
