Recently we watched The Water Is Wide and I will be talking about the different problems Mr. Conroy faces in the movie. Here are some questions I will be answering.
2. Not a lot has changed since this movie, they still have the same learning ways that we have and they learn about the same things we do.
4. Mr. Conroy was confused on why the children did not understand what he was talking about. He used many different ways to teach them until they understood it. At first he used music to teach them different artist and explained to them different things with each song so that they wouldn't get the songs mixed up.
When Mr. Conroy started talking to them about the main land and then ocean on the other side of their island, they didn't know what he was talking about and so to teach them about it, he took them on a small field trip to the ocean so that they could see it and learn about it.
The kids also didn't believe that someone went and walked on the moon so, to prove it to them, he got permission to take then on a field trip to Washington D.C. so that they could see the museum on it and learn about all the different things that have been done in our world and they also learned about all the different presidents and what they did to make such a big difference in our world and on our lives.
5. He talked to all the parents and explained to them what was going on and then they were all for the way he was teaching because they didn't like Ms. Brown.
8. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something. always push through and try new things, even if other people don't like it. It is your choice on how you do things, not anyone else.
