| 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.
How does Bella’s desire to be a vampire threaten the safety of Edward’s family? What sacrifices do they make for her? What, if any, does she make for them?
Bella said she has never felt normal. Is this a feeling that many teens experience? How does a person define normal?
Why is Rosalie envious of Bella? Do you agree with her advice? What things do you look forward to in the future?
