Reply to "Teaching Bible Stories with Secular Movie Clips: rationale and movie suggestions"

Amy CraneBoard President, Editor Supporting Member!AdminBoard Member

Here is an article with great question suggestions for discussing secular movies. It is written for family movie night, but the questions could be used for classroom discussion, too.

In 4 faith talks for family movie night, specific questions are given for discussing any movie. Here are highlights:

The BIG story (good versus evil) - who was the good guy in the movie?
The BIG lesson (moral) -- what is this movie telling you about life, love, relationships, friendship?
The BIG picture - what things in the movie are different from reality?
The BIG hero -- who needed to be rescued, what makes a hero heroic?
