Having Fun with the Academy Awards!
The Oscars will be awarded live this February 22 on ABC-TV. A variety of high-quality movies have been nominated, providing yet another topic of conversation to share with your student.

Tune into the Academy Awards website at www.oscar.com for more information. Plus, check out the movie descriptions, actor/actress bios and previews available through the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com). You'l have all sorts of information at your fingertips to "talk movies" with your student.

Plus, just for fun, have family and friends guess who the winners will be in some of the major categories. Have a cheesy prize or crown that can be passed on to the winner once the show airs on February 22. You may just have an annual tradition on your hands!
