Murder on the Orient Express Movie Guide | Worksheet | Character Analysis (PG13 – 2017) provides a reflective framework for students to analyze characters, clues and outcomes in this classic mystery story.

Ask students to put themselves in Poirot’s shoes and decide whether or not turn in Linda Arden and her crew for Ratchett’s murder. Explore how Poirot’s choice might change his life and his career as a detective. Finally, dig in to Poirot’s final address to the passengers aboard the Orient Express and the weight of his final sentence.

    • 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.
