This movie, adapted from the novel penned by Patrick Dennis, takes us back to the roaring 1920s, a time of social upheaval and cultural revolution. At its core, the movie tells the story of the bold and fearless Mame Dennis, a woman ahead of her time, who refuses to conform to societal norms and forges her own path in life. As she takes on the responsibility of raising her nephew Patrick, the movie explores the complex relationships and challenges that arise when traditional values clash with progressive ideals. Through Mame's eyes, we witness a world that is both exhilarating and daunting, as she navigates the turbulent waters of love, friendship, and family. Her unwavering spirit and unwavering commitment to living life on her own terms serve as an inspiration to us all. This one time class will engage learners critical thinking skills as they embark on an exciting journey of discovery as they explore the multi-faceted world of the movie. From the complex characters that populate its universe to the profound life lessons that lie within its storyline, learners will delve deep into the heart and soul of the movie. They will analyze the different moods that permeate each scene and find the meanings in the settings that are the backdrop for this tale. Learners will be equipped with a movie watching handout that is designed to get them thinking with questions to consider before, during, and after the movie. During the classroom discussion learners will be sharing their perspectives, insights, and interpretations with their peers. Together, we will explore the depths of the movie and examine if this classic film stands the test of time. As we delve into the world of this movie, we will explore its comedic elements, uncovering what makes it such a hilarious and entertaining viewing experience. The movie is more than just funny - it also provides a rich cast of characters, each with their own quirks, flaws, and strengths. By analyzing their journeys and motivations, learners will gain valuable insights into the human condition and the complexities of the world around us. Through their triumphs and missteps, we'll discover lessons that we can apply to our own lives, gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world we inhabit. Students are responsible for watching the movie prior to class. Currently available to rent on Amazon Prime Video, You Tube, Vudu, Google Play Movies & TV.

Greetings and welcome to our classroom adventure, where curiosity takes the reins! I'm Kathy, your guide on this exciting journey of exploration.
In our classroom, we embrace The Socratic Method, believing that questions fuel our learning journey. Together, we'll form a circle of inquiry – a space where we're free to delve into our thoughts, respect diverse perspectives, and discover more about ourselves along the way. My classes focus around the philosophical questions that weave through our daily lives, books, and movies.
A bit about me: I proudly hold a BFA from The School of Visual Arts. As an ACE Teacher on Outschool, I've embraced Professional Development Training, honing Outschool's three core principles: Agency, Community, & Expertise.
I bring to our educational journey a variety of experiences, having donned various hats – from a 15-year stint as an Advertising Executive in corporate America to roles as a Homeschool Teacher and ESL Teacher. I'm an avid book enthusiast, everything from classics to contemporary themes, even enjoying a bit of mind candy. My passion extends to old movies, where I enjoy introducing timeless classics from the Golden Age of Hollywood to students. Having guided my own children through high school and on to college, I collaborate with local homeschoolers, teaching philosophy, literature, movie studies, and facilitating open discussions on diverse topics like Philosophy, Banned Books, Novel Studies, Hollywood movies, and Women's Studies.
Beyond the classroom, you will find me singing loudly and unapologetically in the car and enjoying moments with family. I look forward to seeing you in the classroom - let the adventure begin!
