| 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.
What issues in our society are represented by the plight of the mutants in this movie? Is a “cure” always the best solution? What are the pros and cons of such a plan? What problems could arise when trying to decide who would be in charge of administering this medicine?
Who are “normal” people? Do they exist? What distinctive groups can you identify in our society? Is it possible not to belong to some type of distinctive segment of the population?
