Many of these episodes can currently be found on YouTube, however, I do not own any of these YouTube channels and they may or may not be available in the future.
This resource consists of 8 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 (3 pages)
A student movie guide, PDF digital fillable form version (3 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.
