The BFG Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Slides (PG – 2016) will encourage your students to stretch their minds while they analyze this whimsical, imaginative movie based on the novel by Roald Dahl. Steven Spielberg does a fantastic job communicating the wonder and creativity of giant country and Sophie’s endearing relationship with BFG. Challenge students to interpret ‘giant’ language and connect with BFG’s emotions. Finally, discuss what natural event this movie represents.
Check the thumbnails for high resolution sample questions to see if this movie guide is suitable for your students. This resource consists of 10 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)
- 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.
Here are my tips for using The BFG Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Slides (PG - 2016) in your classroom:
