"Write about a movie you saw or a book you read or a place your visited ..." Just to get them to write something without having to do any research. <br /><br />Since my students are in the college, I haven't had any surprises like the one you had. <br /><br />Telling children to guess the movie must have been an interesting exercise.<br /><br />Regarding the movie the girl wrote about, it's a pointer to what children are exposed to nowadays. And it's also interesting that none of the students were able to guess the film.Pradeep Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873369124947878452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-48933655214925779712019-09-10T09:22:33.543-07:002019-09-10T09:22:33.543-07:00I think at 12 my favorite movie was First Monday i...I think at 12 my favorite movie was First Monday in October.

I think those tend to be a bit mature cause things are expected of them more readily than say the 2nd or 3rd child. I was pretty lenient with what the kids watched after a certain age, but never would have picked these 2 movies for them at that age. Kids are exposed to a lot on video games too. Was on another blog this morning where she was mentioning the theme for her young grandson (under 10) birthday party with it being Fortnite and said he's a gamer. Not judging because like you I don't want to parent anyone else's children, but my kids at that age were playing Mario Cart and similar games.<br /><br />This seemed like a fun assignment.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-2527183785134986922019-09-06T08:51:33.330-07:002019-09-06T08:51:33.330-07:00Oh my...Oh my...songbird's crazy worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473854543986991104noreply@blogger.com
