| 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.
Many movies have been based on the premise of having an opportunity to see what the world would be like if you had never been born. Have you ever considered this concept? Why is it difficult to see one’s own impact on the world?
Why do you think the Shrek movies are becoming more family-friendly? What characters and storylines have been introduced that may have caused this change? How might audience expectation affect the writing and marketing of the Shrek character?
