The video clip that was shown during the October 28th class had a technical problem, causing it to freeze after only 22 seconds, and this was not able to be corrected during the class. The video is a segment called "The Deal", published by Dreamworks Animation, from the movie "How to Train Your Dragon". To see the video clip, "The Deal" click here. It is 42 seconds in length. This link was tested and the full video clip did play correctly, on 10/29/2012.
This short clip shows the main character, Hiccup, and his father. They find out that they are in conflict, because Hiccup does not want to go to school to learn to fight the dragons.
This is a synopsis of the movie’s plot:
Plot Summary for How to Train Your Dragon (2010)
Long ago up North on the Island of Berk, the young Viking, Hiccup, wants to join his town's fight against the dragons that continually raid their town. However, his macho father and village leader, Stoik the Vast, will not allow his small, clumsy, but inventive son to do so. Regardless, Hiccup ventures out into battle and downs a mysterious Night Fury dragon with his invention, but can't bring himself to kill it. Instead, Hiccup and the dragon, whom he dubs Toothless, begin a friendship that would open up both their worlds as the observant boy learns that his people have misjudged the species. But even as the two each take flight in their own way, they find that they must fight the destructive ignorance plaguing their world. (Written by Kenneth Chisholm )

Instead of just going along with everyone else, Hiccup befriended a wounded dragon and learned that they could be trained. By the end of the movie, Hiccup is able to end the war and convince his family and friends to live at peace with the dragons.
Hiccup stood up for what he believed in. That’s not always easy to do,
especially when no one else will support you and you have to stand alone.
The ‘Clicks” material includes these discussion questions:
Have any of you ever felt pressured to do something you weren’t comfortable with? How did you respond?
What’s the hardest part about standing for what’s right? (Answers may include that you feel alienated from friends, that there is temptation to give in, etc.)
.
Why do you think it so important to do what’s right, even when people around us expect us to go along with them?
In today’s lesson, we’re going to find out what happened to a man who stood out from the crowd because he did what was right -- Noah.
