Movie Ideas and Clips for Possible Selves

Lesson 1 includes using a movie to discuss a character who has overcome a life challenge and has positive future aspirations. Below are movie ideas that have been suggested by other teachers. Sometimes, school administrators have policies that do not allow a teacher to show an entire movie in class, so you may also want to consider showing several brief You Tube clips of key moments in the movies when characters have turning point experiences.
