| 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.
When Maximus the cavalry horse and Flynn finally meet, they get along as well as a couple of tired kids in the backseat of a car on a long road trip. What other human characteristics do the animals in this story have?
Flynn wants to emulate the swashbuckling characters he reads about in the orphanage. How well is he doing? Are there other literary figures that might be more worthy of imitating? Does Flynn experience any consequences for his actions? Does he ever show remorse?
Who has a dream in this story? What do they do to make their wishes come true? What ambitions do you have for the future? What will it take to achieve them?
