Grave of Fireflies Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Slide (NR – 1988) challenges students to connect with Seita and Setsuko’s tragic journey during the end of Japan’s involvement in WWII. Explore the relationship they have with each and with their aunt. Debate whether or not Seita does the best job he could have done and whether or not his aunt had a point about him being lazy. Define the term, moral dilemma, and identify the moral dilemma Seita was struggling with throughout the movie. Finally, discover a positive take-away from the movie despite it’s depressing ending.

NOTE: This movie was challenging to watch. It is very sad and moves quite slowly. Thus, there are only 8 questions and 3 pages compared to my normal 10-12 questions and 4 pages. Take this into account while deciding whether or not this resource is suitable for your classroom 🙂

Check the thumbnails for high resolution sample questions to see if this movie guide is suitable for your students. This resource consists of 8 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 movie guide, PDF print version (3 pages)
  • An answer key (3 pages) is included, however, some answers will vary as students are encouraged to construct their own meaning throughout the film and many questions are open-ended.
  • A Google Slides Version of the Movie Guide (A PDF with a link to make a copy of the guide to your Google Drive)
  • 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.
