| 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.
Why is Shrek so nervous about becoming a parent? How does his own experience with his father affect the way he feels? What does he learn from his interaction with Artie?
What impact do the students at Artie’s school have on him? Why is it important to believe in oneself despite the opinions of others? Does he learn to accept his role in life?
In what ways is Fiona different than the other princesses? How does she react to Prince Charming’s plans to take over the kingdom? How does she meet challenges in her life?
