The Miracle Season Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (PG - 2018)

The Miracle Season Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (PG - 2018) helps students analyze the amazing strength characters like Kelley Fliehler, Coach Kathy Bresnahan and Ernie Founder displayed during the 2011 Iowa City West High School volleyball season. Ask students to think for themselves about the importance of facing your fears and having the courage to try your best even when failure is a likely outcome.

This is a great story to build up the moral and team spirit of any group of students dealing with adversity.

This resource consists of 11 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)
• A student movie guide, PDF digital fillable form version (4 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
