This is so important and underappreciated by most teachers I see.

Shugard

I’m not sure either.

Right now, I just wanna my kids to feel that I’m taking their suggestions seriously.

I will think about incorporating educational value into the movie watching as I go along haha

Education

teaching my students to problem-solve

YES YES and YES!

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish by watching movies in class, but hey, go for it!

I am an old shmug, I do not like to watch movies in school. I only watch them in 9th grade when we talk about stories and why storytelling is such a unique human experience.

But I love the problem-solving aspect!

In 7th grade, they get to build their own constitution at school. I might write a post about that! That would be a great idea!

Thank you for putting me on the map!
