Homeschooling High School: Watch Movies Together
Watching movies gives us the chance to sink into a story. In just a couple of hours we can dive deep into character + plot + structure. All of the vocabulary that we use to talk about books works with movies too. Here is a list of movies that our family has enjoyed together. We lean heavily on the public library and the Criterion Channel.
