Even young students can talk about storylines and plot elements. Even young students can compare and contrast based on a movie (just like they do with books). At the most basic level, they can write summaries and practice writing. At higher levels they can critique everything from settings to the script to the way ideas are portrayed. If teachers were fired for showing a movie, there would be no teachers anywhere. And yes, movies can be shown for entertainment, just like we have field day and picnic day at the end of the year. Learning should be fun too. Schools shouldn't be a grind all the time. Lots of businesses have picnics and team outing days. Do you know why?  [/quote]
