The Secret Life of Pets 2 Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (PG - 2019)

The Secret Life of Pets 2 Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (PG – 2019) challenges students to connect with the characters and analyze their decisions. Explore the concepts of parenting and whether or not Liam should be exposed to danger. Examine Rooster as a role model compared to the modern role models of your students. Finally, ask students to explain in their own words Max’s life advice about either running from, or running at, the challenges life puts in your path.

This resource consists of 11 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)

Digital Version Tips

• It is intended for a paperless, 1:1 tablet/iPad classroom
• Ask students to download a PDF editor app if they don’t already have one. It needs to have a save function as well. I used Foxit PDF.
• Host the file. I used google drive to share a folder with students.
• When complete, ask students to save the file in a designated google drive folder using a naming convention. (I use LastnameFirstnameMovieGuide.pdf)
