| 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 can childhood experiences affect a person’s decisions in adulthood? What role does choice have in an individual’s life path?
How does feelings of isolation contribute to the mutants’ outlook on life? Why are some mutations seemingly more acceptable than others? Are there physical or mental challenges in our society that are more easily accepted than others? What are they?
Does setting these fictional characters in real historical events add to or distract from the story? How do you feel about the negative portrayal of military personnel? How have soldiers and others contributed to the freedoms we enjoy now?
