This Finding Dory Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Slides (PG – 2016) challenges students to learn from Dory’s persistence and optimism. Ask students to use their knowledge of mathematics and science to explain why Dory calls Hank a ‘septapus’ and how Marlin ‘imprints’ on Becky (a mother bird). Give students a choice to learn about a few of the concepts in the film like the migration of stingrays and the way whales use echolocation.
This resource consists of 11 high-level, short answer reflection and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.
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.
- A Google Slides Version of the Movie Guide (A PDF with a link to make a copy of the guide to your Google Drive)
- A generic movie guide permission slip (1 page)
Google Classroom Distance Learning Tips:
-
- Create an assignment using the Google Slide
- Use the screen sharing tool on your conference calling software to play the movie
- Pause the movie at each question to give students time to write/discuss
- 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
- 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
