10/25-10/31: Lit as Film

Students will watch a film and debate its themes and enduring questions.

Agenda:
- Summative Discussion on Juno:
1. Does Juno do the right thing, by giving up the baby for adoption?
2. Many married couples have children. This is the norm, but should it be? Are marriages without children happy? Do you need family to have a sense of belonging?
3. If you were in Juno’s situation, what would you do?
4. Why does society view teenage pregnancy as taboo?
5. Should people be loyal in relationships?
6. Is pregnancy necessary for connection between parents/children?
7. Should people adopt children more often?
8. Why wasn’t Paulie Bleeker involved? Should he have been more involved?
9. Between Mark & Vanessa, who is the more sympathetic character? More desperate?
10. When is the best / most ideal time for people to have children?
