*A Google Forms & Slides Version of the Movie Guide
*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.
**Distance Learning Tips:
* Distribute the digital PDF file or the google forms version to each student
* Use the screen sharing tool on your group call software to play the movie
* Pause the movie at each question to give students time to write/discuss
