Prior to class Learners will watch the movie of the week. Please check movie release dates in the description as some films have multiple remakes and learners will need to be sure to watch the listed version of the film.

Each week we will discuss the different themes present in each movie. Themes such as Loyalty, Greed, Love, Dreams, Hopes, Marriage, Duty, and Family. Through a variety of questions facilitated by the teacher learners will use their critical thinking skills to  explore the ideas presented in the movie. 

• Learners will develop skills to help them think critically about the themes presented and if they are accurate representations.
• Defend their opinions about the film while being respectful of the opinion of others.
• Decide if the movie is relatable to their own lives.

This class is student centered. The teacher does not impose their ideas, opinions, or perceptions.  Instead the teacher facilitates the discussion, drawing out the student's ideas into our non-judgmental environment of trust and respect for one another. This method empowers the student and allows them to gain confidence in their ideas and sharing them.

The movies cover the years between 1930 to the 2000's. The genres include drama, comedy, musicals, action, and adventure.
Movies are available to rent on various platforms: You Tube, Amazon, Apple TV, Netflix, Vudu, GooglePlayMovies, and may be available at your local library.  Please note that movies released prior to 1968 do not have ratings.

𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆:
I follow Outschool's policy on refunds for ongoing classes: Parents enrolled in an ongoing class will see a “stop subscription” button instead of “withdraw” on the classroom page after the class’s first meeting. Use this button to prevent any future weekly charges, starting with the following billing period, which rolls over Sunday mornings Pacific time. You can use this to stop future charges at any time.  There will be no refunds issued for a student(s) missing class.  

𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆: If your learner misses a class meeting, you are not entitled to a refund. If your learner misses 3 consecutive class live meetings without communicating with the teacher, you forfeit the class fee and the teacher may cancel the class or withdraw your learner.” 

𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆: Please note that per Outschool policy, if there are 0 students after the first 10 minutes of the class, the class will be canceled for that day. The live meetings are scheduled for 50 minutes; however, depending upon the number of students and the amount of participation from the class, some live meetings may be shorter than 50 minutes.  If the teacher needs to cancel class a makeup class will be assigned. If the student is unable to attend the makeup class a refund will be issued after the makeup class.
