1. Read "What to Look for When Watching Movies" by Brian Godawa. Find it on godawa.com's essays page. It's the sixth link down. It's an excellent article. Put on a sheet of paper that you read the article, and sign it.
2. Now think of a movie. Complete the nine things the Brian Godawa says to look for about that movie. In other words: Who is the protagonist? Who is the antagonist? What are the hero's weaknesses, faults and needs? Etc. Complete all nine things he says to watch for.
I think you'll enjoy the assignment a little more if you pick a movie that is a little confusing to you or one you aren't sure of the worldview. The Sound of Music won't be nearly as interesting to think through as Star Wars or some Disney movies. As always, get parental approval first. No bad movies!
