I had recently fallen in love with Vanalyne—like you do when you’re an angry teenager having your entire worldview destabilized—after watching her essay film about how she got herpes from a hot cowboy that looked like the Marlboro Man. The day’s viewing was Sink or Swim by Su Friedrich.

Dorky linguist Milo Thatch and a team of adventurers rediscover the submerged kingdom of Atlantis. Academics:It’s a gold mine for history and anthropology students. The white Milo discovers a kingdom of brown-skinned, lightly-clad people, brings them writing and technology and ultimately rules Atlantis beside its beautiful princess. These are famil...
An adorable baby deer befriends rabbits and skunks, loses his mother and makes grown men cry from cuteness overload. Academics: It’s an excellent model for students of graphic design and animation. Making cartoon animals that are both realistic and appealing to humans is quite difficult, and Bambisucceeded. If you want to learn to create characters...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Biigna1PMOw A bullied, big-eared baby elephant learns to fly, wins over circus crowds and reunites with his caged mother. Academics: This movie is a good touchstone for the new field of disability studies. Dumbo is rejected for his physical differences, but he eventually comes to see them as special and positive. Thi...
Eight animated sequences, each depicting a different loose storyline, are set to awesome classical music scores. Academics: Film, literature and education students will like this. Fantasia is a great model for adapting seemingly stuffy concepts and making them enjoyable for all audiences. The stories are set to the music, not vice versa, and they g...
Princess Anna must end a supernatural winter and choose between a rough mountaineer and a prince who’s too good to be true. Academics: Frozenhas great material for literature and gender studies. I recommend it to any aspiring creative writer, because it inverts everything we expect from a story. There’s a heroine instead of a hero, familial love is...
A fallen Greek god and aspiring hero strives to master his powers, foil Hades’ plots and successfully hit on a redhead. Academics: Like Fantasia, it’s a good choice for education and English majors. Future teachers can use this to sneak in a lesson on Ancient Greece and its influence, and the kids will have fun with it. Writers and analysts will fi...
Lion prince Simba grows up in exile, until his destiny drives him to reclaim the throne from his usurper uncle Scar. Academics: The Lion Kingneeds to be required viewing for English majors. It is one of the textbook examples of the Hero’s Journey, a formula that underlies most fiction, and the characters found in that formula. Simba’s coming of age...
A girl disguises herself as a boy to join the Chinese army. She and her animal sidekicks end up standing between the kingdom and a Hun invasion. Academics: Like Frozen, Mulanis good for gender studies. The heroine overcomes the (unfortunately still prevalent) doubts on whether women can be as capable as men within fields such as the military and pr...
Pocahontas and John Smith fall in love while their peoples fight over the colonization of America. Academics: History students take note: Pocahontas is a good study of racism and attempts to rewrite history. Reality was considerably harsher than the movie: Pocahontas’ people were never accepted as equals by Europeans, and John Smith was more likely...
A very naive, very blonde Rapunzel and a wannabe dashing rogue try to outfox a wicked stepmother. Academics: Drama students take note: Tangled has good lessons on stagecraft. The movie has a very theatrical appearance, with bright colors that would be perfect for a stage set. Character movements are exaggerated, so every action is emphasized and ha...
- Heads Up, 7-Up. This has long been a classic game for indoor recess, but now you can use it for any topic! Play the game like you normally would, but before a student can guess who picked them, they have to solve a problem or question on the board.
- Zinkers! Break your class up into teams. Then draw a question or task cards and read it to the first team. If they get it correct, have them draw a slip for points.
- Sink or Swim. I love this game for reviewing. Break your class up into two teams and place them on opposite sides of the room. The middle of the classroom is an ‘ocean.’
- Knock ‘Em Out. Have students stand in a row along a wall. Randomly draw a student’s name (I use sticks) and randomly draw a question. Ask that student whose name you drew the question.
- Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it.
- The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure.
- Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?
- Describe a problem you’ve solved or a problem you’d like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma – anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale.
May 14, 2018 · Review: Sink or Swim by Fabien Lemercier 14/05/2018 - CANNES 2018: Gilles Lellouche presents a funny, effective and marvellously-acted film about a ragtag bunch of life’s losers who form an unlikely team of male synchronised swimmers
In Su Friedrich’s canonical autobiographical documentary, she returns to a childhood memory: her father has thrown her into the deep end of a pool to teach her to swim.
