| 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.
Do you think the characters have grown and developed during this series? Do you like Bella better now or in the beginning? In what ways does she change? Do Edward and Jacob’s characters develop as well? Will Bella continue to be a danger to her new vampire family?
As the Volturi threatens the safety of his daughter as well as his family, Edward questions the wisdom of falling in love with a human. How does he expose the Cullens to unnecessary risk? Is that risk justified? What long-term implications may be overlooked in the early stages of a relationship?
