Films

Dear parents,

Sometimes it's good to sit and watch a film with your children.

This can be educational. You can discuss the film with your child afterwards.

You could explore these aspects:

• What was the plot/story? What was the problem (there's always a problem)?

• Who were the main characters? What did they want (motivation)?

• Did you enjoy it? Why? Why not?

• What was the climax (the most exciting part)?

• Genre - what kind of film was it? Animation, western, thriller, etc.

• What was the dialogue like? Realistic?

• Did you like the ending?

• Etc.

Your child could write a review afterwards.

Also, click below for film guides - which are designed as informal discussion prompts for after viewing some recent films.

Or maybe just watch the film and enjoy the peace and quiet!

Slán agus beannacht,
