Weekend Blog Assignment: Spellbound

To conclude our study of Spellbound, make an informal post to your blog that responds to one of the following prompts:

1. Pick any two of the students in Spellbound and compare and contrast what you see as their motivations for pursuing success in the National Spelling Bee.

2. Pick any two sets of parents and compare and contrast either their motivations for having their children excel in the National Spelling Bee.

3. Pick any two students or parents and compare and contrast the ways that they deal with the stress of the competition.

Responses should be thoughtful and contain references to the film itself.
