		Vocabulary Teaching with Freak the Mighty is a great way to start the school year for the purpose of establishing a vocabulary development practice to use throughout the year.
		Throughout the reading of Freak and continuing throughout other novels, students find new, unfamiliar words and add the words with a definition in their own words and an illustration of the word.
		Extension activities might include students using a given number of their own vocabulary words within a piece of writing, vocabulary quizzes, creating a memory game out of the words and definitions, or other activities you've done in the past for vocabulary development.

	The Mighty
		The Mighty is about a friendship between two boy outcasts, one of whom suffers from Morquiro Syndrome, a disease that stunts growth and can inhibit other parts of the body, such as the ears, eyes, and muscle tissue.
		As Max explains in voice-over: "Freak was the brain, and I was the legs." They become a golem, in a sense: instilled with a code of honour obtained through a mutual fascination with medieval legends, the pair--Freak planted atop Max's ample shoulders--becomes an opposing force against bullies of every stripe.
		Sharon Stone, as Freak's quiet mother, comes off much, much better than Anderson, though we never learn anything about her except that she loves her son to pieces and apparently has the best--the only?--hairdresser in town.

		Except later it was Freak himself who taught me that remembering is a great invention of the mind, and if you try hard enough you can remember anything, whether it really happened or not.
		And when little Freak showed up one day with these shiny braces strapped to his crooked legs, metal tubes right up to his hips, why those were even more cool than crutches.
		Then for a long time I never saw Freak anymore, one day he just never came back to day care, and the next thing I remembered I'm like in the third grade or something and I catch a glimpse of this yellow-haired kid scowling at me from one of those cripple vans.

	'The Mighty' (PG-13)
		ore mediocre than mighty, this feeble contender for the pre- and early-adolescent audience may not drown in its own syrupy pathos, but it certainly wallows contentedly in it.
		Based on "Freak the Mighty," Rodman Philbrick's 1993 young-adult novel about the unlikely friendship between two 13-year-old misfits, the slight film adaptation from director Peter Chelsom and writer Charles Leavitt never musters enough emotional oomph to extract itself from the puddle of treacle at its feet.
		Perhaps some 9- to 14-year-olds will take some comfort in "The Mighty's" would-be inspirational lessons about fitting in and acceptance, but I suspect most are already too sophisticated for its "After-School Special"-style preachiness and cartoonishly reductive characters.

		Encouraged by these deeds of mythical heroism, Kevin and Max dub themselves "Freak the Mighty" and set out on the ultimate quest: to right wrongs, slay dragons and rescue damsels in distress.
		A gang of mid-school bullies with leather jackets and switchblades and an administration that allows Kevin to play sports (atop Max) after a rousing speech by his mother are among the film's "quainter" notions.

		To follow that up, the ads have been an odd hodgepodge of Sharon Stone and a bunch of medieval knights, and while she does appear in a supporting part (as do the knights), this hardly gives a clear idea of what the film is about: friendship, identity, and chivalry.
		The Mighty is narrated by Max (Elden Henson), a giant of a kid, who's in the seventh grade for the third time around.
		Although kids and teens would identify with it (who hasn't felt like a freak at one point or another), the messages are universal, and the story is fully enjoyable for adults, too.
