| 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.
Helen believes that home is a place for free expression while Frank thinks rules are important to keep things running smoothly. Which notion do you agree with? What are the pros and cons of each approach?
What challenges can blended families face? Why can’t Frank and Helen simply “pick up” on the relationship they had in high school? What sacrifices do the kids have to make? Why are Frank and Helen adamant about referring to the kids as “ours”?
What events help the children change their attitudes toward their parents’ marriage?
