This classic musicals movie guide bundle is great to have in your emergency fun toolkit for ELA/Music substitutes or supplemental material for your class.
These movie guides are great for:
1) substitute lessons 2) a way to sprinkle some education into a classroom movie viewing party 3) stress free activities before holiday breaks 4) reward activities after testing 5) challenging students to do more than just regurgitate information, the questions require students to analyze, evaluate, apply and create their own meaning from the film
Check the preview files for each individual product below to see high resolution sample questions and decide if these guides are suitable for your students.
Here are my tips for using this Classic Musicals Movie Guide Bundle in your classroom:
Print one, double-sided movie guide for each student
Preview each question on the movie guide as you come to it before resuming the movie
Pause at the times designated on the movie guide and help students if necessary
Discussion here is great, encourage and allow students to share their ideas and thoughts for any question
Discourage students from simply copying answers
If needed, and if time allows, feel free to rewind and show important parts of the movie for additional analysis
After completing the short answers on the movie guide, allow 5-10 minutes for each essay question at the end
On average, completing this movie guide will require about 30 minutes in addition to the length of the movie
