Use this Our Friend, Martin movie guide to help students track character choices, civil rights history, and the film’s message about prejudice, courage, and nonviolence. The questions move beyond recall as students connect Martin, Miles, and Randy to key moments in Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and reflect on how individuals can help change the world around them.
A note about different versions of the film:
The time stamps on this movie guide match up with the youtube version which can be found here.
However, this is not my video and this link may or may not be available in the future. If you use a different version of the film like, this one, the time stamps may be off by a few seconds, in this case, I’ve also included a short description of where to stop the film for each question.
This resource consists of 11 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information. See the thumbnail images for sample questions.
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 Forms & Slides Version of the Movie Guide
- A generic movie guide permission slip (1 page)
- 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.
