The Stargirl Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Answer Key (PG – 2020) explores the life lessons in this gripping story based on Jerry Spinelli’s novel. Ask students to put themselves in Stargirl’s shoes and defend her actions. Explore concepts of peer pressure, standing out and self-confidence. Discuss Leo’s meaningful performance of ‘Just What I Needed’ and how it affected his character. Analyze Stargirl’s transformation to Susan and then back to Stargirl again.

This resource consists of 13 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information. See the thumbnail images for sample questions.

This product .zip file includes:

  • A student movie guide, PDF digital fillable form version (4 pages)
  • A student movie guide, PDF print version  (4 pages)
  • An answer key (4 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 Forms Version of the Movie Guide
  • 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.

This movie is available for streaming on Disney +

Digital Version Tips

  • It is intended for a paperless, 1:1 tablet/iPad classroom
  • 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)
