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.
How can distance, time and changing interests have an impact on friendships? What things pull the girls apart in this film? What brings them together?
What important lessons does each of the girls learn over the summer? How does their different life experiences impact the way that they see themselves?
What can archeologists learn from dig sites about the people who lived there? What could others learn about you if they “dug” through your personal space?
