| 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 did Van Helsing feel compelled to continue fighting evil even when the public harassed him? What did he know about state of affairs that the people didn’t understand? What kind of similar challenges do leaders face when they make a decision that is unpopular with the masses?
What did Van Helsing believe about Frankenstein? Despite his beginnings, what choices had the monster made in his life? Are we destined to be a certain way because of our upbringing or past life?
What did Anna believe about the afterlife? How did that affect her view of death?
