“The Mighty” Video Assignment

We are going to approach this video assignment in the same manner that we
approached the video assignment for Forrest Gump. The difference for this
assignment is that you will be examining how the six character traits are
displayed in the two main characters in the movie. I would like you to
remember that you need to give examples of the traits through specific
aspects of each trait. The two characters that I would like you to examine
are:

1. Max
2. Kevin

The six character traits are:

Responsibility- take care of self and others, fulfill obligations, keep

promises, accept consequences

Respect- don’t gossip, show regard for others, listen without

interrupting, show tolerance and acceptance for others

Trustworthiness- be reliable, be dependable, do what you say

Fairness- be consistent, be impartial when possible, treat others

with equality

Caring- show compassion for others, show kindness and love,

consider the needs of others and not just your own

Citizenship- volunteer, obey laws and rules, stay informed on

important issues

Big Idea Questions to consider at the end of the video for our whole class
discussion:

1. How did positive reinforcement play a role in the movie?

2. What role did believing in yourself play in the video?
