Hello Maggie

The Middle Graders I have had (Native speakers, admittedly) have enjoyed The Mighty Ducks (I,II,III) about kids and hockey; Men In Black (I,II) the SciFi hit comedy about a secret organization which monitors aliens on Earth; Herbie : Fully Loaded (the latest "Love Bug" film) which stars Lindsay Lohan; X-Men (I,II)about mutant teenagers; Cool Runnings, fact-based comedy about the Jamaican bobsled team in the Olympics.

These are all fun, and suitable for Middle Graders.

You might wish to pre-screen them, so that you'll know what sorts of things will raise questions from your kids: cultural references, slang expressions, etc.

Happy Viewings
