I was just thinking about some great movies that I like to show in my classroom. My favorites are:
Stand and Deliver
October Sky
The Freedom Writers
Pursuit of Happyness
The Blind Side
Notice a theme? They're all based on a true story.
What are your favorites?

ReplyDeleteOur curriculum and schedule don't allow for movies ... but I wonder if any of my 9th graders would be interested in a "Lunch Bunch" movie week ... it would take most of the week to show any of these ... which would be fine.
ReplyDeleteI am considering taking a few minutes one day a week to show a video clip from The Futures Channel ... a bit of real math/science in real careers (http://www.thefutureschannel.com/index.php).
The King's Speech! Not so much about kids ... but great about overcoming!
