For this school year, we have designated Friday night as a movie and a pizza night. This will be a nice end to a long week of studying. And in my mind, I am hoping it will be a little bit of a continuation of our studies. We have already selected our list of movies from Netflicks. For the most part they are classics and definitely no new releases. I hope it will improve our understanding and appreciation of film while also sharpening our critical thinking skills. I got the idea from a book I read this summer called "Teach Like Your Hair's On Fire" by Rafe Esquith.
Some of the movies on our list are:
The African Queen
Casablanca
Charade
High Noon
Inherit the Wind
It's a Wonderful Life
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
On the Waterfront
The Sting
Twelve Angry Men
You get the idea. We also decided to extend an open invitation to any of our friends who want to come over on a Friday night to join us. See you at the movies.
