Temple Grandin Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (TVPG - 2010)

Temple Grandin Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (TVPG – 2010) challenges students to see the world through Temple’s eyes. Encourage students to think critically about how they treat others that are different, but not less. Explore the obstacles Temple had to overcome and the metaphorical doors she persisted in opening as she changed the lives of millions and millions of cattle each year.

This resource consists of 12 high-level, short answer 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 digital fillable form version (4 pages)
• A student movie guide, PDF print version (4 pages)
• A Google Slides Version of the Movie Guide
• 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 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
