This Ender’s Game Movie Guide challenges students to analyze the decisions Ender makes throughout the movie and think critically about their outcomes and whether or not they would have behaved differently in the same situation. Explore the meaning of Privacy Rights, discuss how Ender diffuses tense situations, and evaluate arguments. Finally, determine the theme of the movie and debate whether minors should take part in a war effort.
