Here is an interesting site connecting movies, reading, and science.  It provides activities and facts connected to 
Charlotte's Web.  There is a new film version of the movie coming out this week.  The main site, 
awesomestories.com, offers educational resources connected to films, major events, etc.  I can't vouch for it directly, but it seems like a good idea.  (Thanks to Carole Bos, who posted this on the 
ITEA Innovation Station listserve!)
