Movie: Dreams of Flying

Today we're watching a movie called "Dreams of Flying."  It's a cheesy, 90's movie about careers, college, family expectations and peer pressure.  While some of the acting is horrible, it makes a valid point about who is really "flying your plane."

Open Microsoft Word and put your name and title ("Dreams of Flying") on the top.

Before we watch the movie, spend 5 or 6 minutes answering these questions:

1. Are there any careers that should only be performed by a man or woman?  Explain.
2. Do you have any family pressure to pick a certain career -- or to avoid a career?  Explain.
3. Do you have pressure from friends about your life choices -- or future goals?  Explain.

After we watch the movie, answer these questions:

1. Summarize the movie and give me some feedback about whether or not it's applicable to high school students today.
2. Do you relate to any of the characters in the movie?  Why or why not?
