Abstract
We regularly teach for the Wyoming High School Institute (HSI), a three-week college experience for rising high school juniors. The purpose of HSI is to introduce pre-college students to subjects not regularly taught in the secondary school curriculum. In our course, we introduce moral philosophy through the use of feature films. More narrowly, we challenge the students to examine moral reasoning through analysis of the moral reasoning of characters in these films. Our pedagogical approach is based in the methods of Socrates and in the technique of scaffolding. We attempt to show how our approach can be incorporated into any pre-college philosophy classroom.
