First time heard the name of the movie, I thought it is about a girl Akeelah and the insect named bee. After watching the movie for about 15 minutes, then I realized that the story is about spelling bee.
This movie is more towards education, and also game. For entertainment value, the movie is a little bit funny, but just a little bit. It could greatly help people to be concentrate, while not neglecting the main message of the story. Without a father and only a mother, there is no doubt that it is one of the major reasons why she ended up like that. Still, I wish that her teacher would marry her mother, yet I think that it is up to the director whether he wants to make the story like that or not.
I am so affected with the way Akeelah study and memorising words. In the story, it is shown that the root word is the most important element in memorizing the word. Maybe I should concentrate on that if I ever want to teach my students the same skill, or even used it for my own learning.
Our system in Malaysia actually does not very emphasis on the spelling and memorising words. It does depend on teacher. There is some teacher that would ask students to remember a few words a week in hope students will memorise it. Hence, as a future teacher, I need to help my students in completing their vocabulary. Wish me luck! ^_^
