| 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 do you feel about the recent trend in action films to depict terrorist activities? Does this help us to overcome and better understand the realities of terrorism in our society, or does it fuel further speculation or even imitation of depicted acts?
Why does the shock factor of violent acts decrease with repeated viewings? Do you feel this applies only to movies, or to real life events?
