This West Side Story Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Classroom (NR - 1961) challenges students to connect with the life and times of the Jets and the Sharks. Explore how the director replaces common elements of a film with song, dance and rhyme. Encourage students to take a deeper look at the concepts presented in this classic musical like juvenile delinquency, gangs, and the idea that each generation faces different challenges. This resource consists of 16 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 print version (5 pages)
  • A student movie guide, PDF digital fillable form version (5 pages)
    *An answer key is included with this movie guide, however many answers will vary as students are encouraged to construct their own meaning from the characters’ dialogue and behavior. See the preview for samples.
    *A Google Forms & Slides Version of the Movie Guide
    *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
