Print one, double-sided movie guide for each student
Preview each question on the movie guide as you come to it before resuming the movie
Pause at the times designated on the movie guide and help students if necessary
Discussion here is great, encourage and allow students to share their ideas and thoughts for any question
Discourage students from simply copying answers
If needed, and if time allows, feel free to rewind and show important parts of the movie for additional analysis
After completing the short answers on the movie guide, allow 5-10 minutes for each essay question at the end
On average, completing this movie guide will require about 30 minutes in addition to the length of the movie
