Spidey 3...connection to teaching.

I saw Spiderman 3 this weekend. Although a somewhat weird movie, I took one important thing away from it. The idea of always looking for the good as a teacher. Within the movie Spiderman is torn as to do what he wants, which is evil, and something that is right. As a future teacher, I really found this as a good point. It is important for me to teach students to do the right thing and to have high morals. Doing the right thing isn't always easy, but it is important to think about the affects of decisions on a person's life. I thought that this was a wonderful message that more people should focus on.

Hair

I attended HAIR a few months back and really enjoyed it. It really was interesting to watch it now with all of the things that are going on now with the war. It was a wonderful work that really introduced alot of things about people's feelings about the Vietnam War. I have been reading about the Vietnam War in another class and the play really did reveal alot of the feelings that people actually had during this time period. I think that as a teacher it is important to recognize that things often happen again during history. As bad as that is sometimes, history does repeat itself. It is also important to see how great it is that people are able to express themselves in a number of artistic ways. It is important to realize that people can express themselves in a variety of ways besides just with paper. It was a great experience that I would recommend for anyone to see if they get the opportunity.
