The Fault in Our Stars Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (PG13 – 2014) challenges students to analyze this emotional story about life, love, happiness and the finality of death. Ask students to think critically about the meaning of Augustus’s cigarette metaphor and the communication between Hazel and her parents regarding her eventual passing. Ponder the reason why John Green used this title and how it relates to a Cassius quote from Shakespeare’s famous play, Julius Caesar.

Note: This resource is for the 2014 movie based 2012 novel by John Green of the same title.

This product .zip file includes:

    • 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.

      • 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.
