teaching plans

*update!* I found out that I can probably get reimbursed by the school for Nightmare, which makes it a totally worthwhile investment. Awesome.

So I've been watching Mean Girls with my advanced lunchtime class, which is great! It's fun for me and for them. The DVD cost me less than $6 from a Korean online store. At the same store, I found a 2-disc special edition version of the Nightmare Before Christmas, which I'm now thinking of showing around Christmas time since my students keep asking me for a movie. I think it would be enjoyable and educational about Halloween, which we covered last week, AND Christmas. Also it's just a great film. The only problem is, while Mean Girls cost me very little, Nightmare is actually more like $16. Is this a worthwhile investment? I can't watch it in United States DVD players like my computer. I'd probably end up leaving it with the school, and I don't really think I could get reimbursed for a purchase like that. Opinions?

Bdan says you can play other region DVDs on computers pretty easily, though whether you'd need Divx or something similar, I dunno.
