Another good tie in with Akeelah and the Bee, is that that Angela Basset was an Upward Bound student (in real life).

I cover the standard topics like notes, reading skills, time management etc. Towards the end of the semester I show the movie "Finding Forester" and have the students write their final paper on reflections about themselves and the movie. I'm trying to find another movie that might have similiar themes (mentoring relationships, embracing and/or developing a gift, peer pressure) to show instead of or in addition to. Any ideas?
