  • 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.

Google Classroom Distance Learning Tips:

1. Create an assignment using the Google Slide
2. Use the screen sharing tool on your conference calling software to play the movie
3. Pause the movie at each question to give students time to write/discuss
4. Make sure students input their name, so when you open your copy of the form, you can see each student’s individual response they submitted
5. Note: If you are using the movie guide for multiple classes and want to separate responses by class, create multiple copies of the google form with file names such as [Title]MovieGuideClassPeriod[2] and then create assignments for each copy of the Google Form movie guide
