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.
Check the thumbnails for high resolution sample questions to see if this movie guide is suitable for your students. This resource consists of 11 high-level, short answer reflection and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.
This product .zip file includes:
- A Student’s Copy, PDF print version (4 pages)
- A Teacher’s Copy including CCSS Alignment (4 pages)
- Note: An answer key is not included as many questions are open-ended and encourage students to analyze the film.

- A generic movie guide permission slip (1 page)
- CCSS alignment indicating standards met, PDF (1 page – see also preview image)
- CCSS Note: I’ve taken the liberty of aligning certain reading standards with the act of consuming content via the movie instead. Although students aren’t reading they are asked to perform the same cognitive functions on the content that they consumed from the movie.
