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.

NBA Commissioner David Stern has been credited with saving the NBA by upping the entertainment aspect of the game and making media icons of the players. What evidence can you see of that action? Why would the NBA choose to tell this story?
How does Yao Ming deal with the pressure of performing? What responsibility does he feel to his fellow countrymen? In what ways does he affect those he meets in America?
