Here are my tips for using for using this Amazon Prime Bundle of 10 Movie Guides | Questions | Worksheet | SAVE over 35%:
Print one, double-sided movie guide for each student/child (or use digital version, see below)
Preview each question on the movie guide as you come to it before resuming the movie
Pause at the times designated on the movie guide
Discussion here is great, encourage and allow students/children to share their ideas and thoughts for any question
Discourage students/children from simply copying answers, or writing short non-descriptive answers
If needed, and if time allows, feel free to rewind and show important parts of the movie for additional analysis
After completing the short answers on the movie guide, allow 5-10 minutes for each essay question at the end
On average, completing this movie guide will require about 30-45 minutes in addition to the length of the movie
Digital Version Tips
It is intended for a paperless, 1:1 tablet/iPad classroom, or homeschooling environments
Ask students to download a PDF editor app if they don’t already have one. It needs to have a save function as well. I used Foxit PDF.
Host the file. I used google drive to share a folder with students.
When complete, ask students to save the file in a designated google drive folder using a naming convention. (I use LastnameFirstnameMovieGuide.pdf)
