Materials included: • Student worksheet with 20 True/False questions. The worksheet is formatted with enough space for students to write answers, but because it doesn’t have official answer blanks, teachers can easily tell students to write on their own paper so that their file copies of the worksheet can be used year after year. • True/False answer key ---- with most false answers annotated with additional information to assist the teacher! • Student worksheet with 13 Multiple Choice Questions. Again, the worksheet is formatted so that it can be reusable if teachers desire. • Multiple Choice answer key   WHERE TO FIND THE VIDEO THAT GOES WITH THESE REMEMBERING VIETNAM WORKSHEETS The questions included here are based on the a video from the Smithsonian Institution: "Remembering Vietnam -- The Wall at 25.” You can download the 46-minute video from iTunes and have it to use in perpetuity for a very small charge. Alternately, you can try to find the video on a streaming site. Just run a Google search for the title! HOW TO USE THESE REMEMBERING VIETNAM: THE WALL AT 25 WORKSHEETS IN CLASS: TWO-DAY LESSON PLAN The video lasts 46 minutes, which means that with these questions, you can easily turn it into a 2 period unit at the secondary school level. • Day 1: Introduce the video, show it, and then debrief a little. • Day 2: Review main points of the video using one of the two question sets, and then use the other set as a follow up activity. For example: o Use either the true/false questions as a whole class review o Assign the multiple choice questions as an individual quiz or group activity ONE-DAY LESSON PLANS • Option 1: Pass out true/false questions and show the video. Have students complete the questions as they watch. Alternately, use the multiple choice questions instead. If the class period lasts at least 5 minutes past the 46 needed to show the video, you will even have time to go over the answers before the bell rings. • Option 2: As above, but have students do one of the two question sets during the class period and the alternate question set for homework.

_______________________________________________________________ What Buyers Are Saying: • This was a great Halloween activity for my social studies classes! • Love the resource! Thanks • Excellent Resource! _______________________________________________________________ Make your October academics spooktacular this year by using these Real Story of Halloween worksheets -- teaching students this history behind many of our beloved and familiar Halloween traditions! This resource provides 50 multiple choice questions designed for use with the History Channel documentary, "The Real Story of Halloween." Students will enjoy the film while you'll have a way to track how much they are getting from it. Plus, with these worksheets, students will be motivated to stay on task! ABOUT THIS FUN HALLOWEEN VIDEO This documentary, appropriate for students in both middle school and high school, usually airs on the History Channel each October. It can often also be found on a variety of video streaming sites. The best way to find it online is to run a simple Google Search. The program lasts about 42 minutes, making it a great fit into a one-period class. ---MAKE CLASS FUN USING THESE REAL STORY OF HALLOWEEN WORKSHEETS--- "The Real Story of Halloween" is a fascinating look into the historical roots of our current-day American Halloween customs. The video asks, and then answers, a variety of interesting and fun questions such as: • Why do we wear masks and costumes on Halloween? • Why is it customary to hand out treats on that night? • Where did the tradition of going door to door start? Along the way, a number of historical eras, peoples, and events are discussed, including: • The ancient Celts • The ancient Romans • Europeans during the early and late Middle Ages • The "Gunpowder Plot" / Guy Fawkes Day in England • Colonial America • The Great Depression in America • The Post-War Boom and 1960s America • The Current Day My personal opinion is that most history teachers would probably enjoy watching this video even if they had no plans to use it in class -- it's simply that fun of a ride. Using it with students, of course, is even better. As long as my world history classes are where they should be each October 31, I like to take a day out of the regular curriculum and use this video. They enjoy it a lot, particularly because it is both fast-paced and fascinating -- but they also learn a great deal about the various periods in history that contributed to our modern conception of how to celebrate Halloween.

What was the view of Jews in the United States during the 1930s as the Holocaust loomed ominously ahead? What did the United States try to do to lessen the scale of the horrific tragedy . . . and what more could the nation have done? Take your Holocaust teaching to the next level by examining what the U.S. government knew about events unfolding in Europe, and what it did in response. These America and the Holocaust worksheets and activities go with the PBS film "America and the Holocaust," which is an episode of the series American Experience. INCLUDED IN THIS AMERICA AND THE HOLOCAUST WORKSHEET AND ACTIVITIES PACK --Detailed synopsis of the film --Teacher introduction with suggested instructional approaches --Reusable fill-in-the-blank student worksheet for use while viewing the video --Consumable version of the same worksheet --Detailed answer key --Two follow-up activities for students to do after viewing the film --Worksheets and Holocaust timeline to facilitate the student follow-up activities SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO FROM PBS "Complex social and political factors shaped America's response to the Holocaust, from "Kristallnacht" in 1938 through the liberation of the death camps in 1945. For a short time, the US had an opportunity to open its doors, but instead erected a "paper wall," a bureaucratic maze that prevented all but a few Jewish refugees from entering the country. It was not until 1944, that a small band of Treasury Department employees forced the government to respond." WHERE TO FIND THE VIDEO "America and the Holocaust" plays occasionally on PBS stations as a part of the series American Experience. However, it is also available online at a variety of streaming sites. The best way to find where it may currently be available is to run a simple Google search. For teachers who prefer hard media, however, the film can be purchased through pbs.org. ABOUT THE CLOZE ACTIVITY INCLUDED IN THESE AMERICA AND THE HOLOCAUST WORKSHEETS The worksheet provided here is designed to be used by students as they watch the video. Students will pay better attention and will focus in on important details as they solve the problems included in the activity. Structure of worksheet: Key statements from the film's script are included on a worksheet, with important words or phrases blocked out. Students are to fill in the missing words or phrases as they watch the film. I have used these worksheets with my classes and have found them to be highly successful at helping students follow the movie better.

GET REAL IN GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMICS CLASSES WITH A CRITICAL LOOK AT OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM Sicko, released in 2007 by famed documentary-maker Michael Moore, addresses the crisis in health care in the United States. The film heavily focuses on the problems of Americans who actually have health insurance – but it is insurance that in many ways leaves them in the lurch when they have a major problem. INCLUDED IN THIS SICKO MOVIE GUIDE AND WORKSHEETS PACKET You will get 120 Sicko movie questions, all presented in video order so that students can follow along, answering as they pay attention to the movie – though it is equally possible to use the questions after viewing as a test or quiz follow-up, or even as a way to review content and spur class discussion. All questions are provided as both multiple choice and free response problems. You will also get 7 follow-up topics to get students thinking more deeply about the movie’s issues so they can formulate their own points of view. These topics work equally well for debate and discussion, essays, and projects, giving teachers a lot of flexibility. Full answer keys are provided, along with detailed introductory teaching notes as well as guidance notes on the discussion and essay topics. EASY DIFFERENTIATION WITH BOTH BASIC AND ADVANCED LEVELS PROVIDED! All 120 questions are provided in both multiple choice and free response formats so that teachers can easily differentiate, with both basic and advanced worksheet versions available at their fingertips. TEACHER CONVENIENCE FEATURES Questions are numbered sequentially so that teachers can start and stop the movie whenever it suits them, instead of trying to match their instruction to worksheets that divide the movie up into pre-established segments.

This history-through-literature learning packet is designed to accompany The Nazi Officer’s Wife: How One Woman Survived the Holocaust. This memoir tells the true story of Edith Hahn Beer, who suffered as a slave laborer in both agricultural and industrial camps in the Nazi empire before finding a way to disappear into Aryan society. She lived out the rest of the war as a “U-boat,” or a Jewish person passing for Aryan, eventually marrying a German to help preserve her cover. After the war, she confronted the realities of life in the Soviet sector, finally fleeing Germany for freedom in England and eventually, Israel. ABOUT THIS TEACHING PACKET This resource consists of student worksheets to accompany each chapter of The Nazi Officer’s Wife. Each worksheet consists of a variety of text-dependent questions about the target chapter. All questions are free-response and are presented in order to match the sequence of the target chapter; each worksheet is formatted to provide students enough space to record their answers. WHY ONLY FREE RESPONSE QUESTIONS? The basic purpose these questions are meant to address is that of reading check; they are designed to help teachers assess which students have carefully read the assigned chapter(s). To accomplish this, they need to lend themselves to guessing as little as possible. Using true/false or multiple choice questions would defeat this objective. The questions themselves are carefully constructed to make guessing difficult. Questions with a limited logical set of answers, such as “What color?” or “Did Werner believe Edith?” are not included. In a number of cases, the correct answer is actually the least likely thing to occur to someone guessing, as in “What did the Russians answer when Edith asked them to help her husband?” – In that case, the correct answer is “Nothing,” since the text is explicit about the fact that they did NOT answer her despite her repeated requests.

________________________ What Buyers Are Saying: ---Really helpful! ________________________ The movie "1776" is great for teaching about the American Revolution and specifically the Declaration of Independence. These questions are designed to be used batch by batch as students finish watching portions of the movie -- or they can be used after the whole movie has been watched, as a final assessment. I find that students are MUCH more attentive and on-task during a class movie if they know they will be assessed afterwards on the main ideas and important details in the film.

This set is made up of three time-stamped files so that you can assess students on the beginning, middle, and ending phases of the movie. In all, you will have more than 50 questions -- a mix of True/False and Multiple Choice. KEY IDEAS AND PEOPLE COVERED 1776 • Thomas Jefferson • Benjamin Franklin • John Adams • Abigail Adams • Philadelphia as the capital city • Independence Hall • The Liberty Bell • The Declaration of Independence • The Debate over Slavery • Loyalists • British tax policy • The proper role of representative government • Boston as a site of colonial discontent • And much more!

Easy-to-correct worksheets plus a final test designed to go with every episode of "The Men Who Built America," a highly engaging History Channel series covering the industrialization of the United States. MEN WHO BUILT AMERICA WORKSHEETS DESIGNED FOR CLASSROOM CONVENIENCE This worksheet set contains 4 multiple-choice worksheets, each covering one 80-85 minute episode of the series. However, because a class period is frequently less than an hour, each of these worksheets is also divided into a first half and last half. This will let teachers easily show a segment and review answers all within a single class period. EASILY WORKS WITH BOTH WAYS THE SERIES IS SHOWN The Netflix version of The Men Who Built America uses these 80-85 minute-long episodes. However, sometimes when the series airs on the History Channel, it is presented as eight 40-45 minute shorter episodes instead of four "double episodes." Because I have split the double episodes in half when making the worksheets, however, this worksheet set will still work perfectly, even if your classroom showing uses the eight episode structure. WHAT YOU THESE MEN WHO BUILT AMERICA WORKSHEETS INCLUDE ----More than 65 questions covering Episode 1 ----More than 60 questions covering Episode 2 ----More than 50 questions covering Episode 3 ----More than 70 questions covering Episode 4 plus: A final exam about the entire series: 80 questions drawn from the previous episode-based sets Hundreds of questions in all! WHERE TO FIND THE MEN WHO BUILT AMERICA The series plays regularly on the History Channel and is also playing on Netflix. It can also be found on other streaming sites -- a simple Google search may be the best way to find places where it is currently available. ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF THE SERIES The Men Who Built America starts with the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and goes forward in mostly chronological order until the breakup of Standard Oil in the early decades of the 20th century.

Few movies have captured Dr. Martin Luther King so thoroughly as the Academy Award-winning "Selma," which details the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the landmark Civil Rights movement Selma-to-Montgomery march for voting rights. A great movie is one thing, but making it work in class can be another. That's where these Selma Movie Worksheets come in. Providing more than 60 fill-in-the-blank problems based on the movie characters' statements, it makes the movie a lot more accessible to students, helping them understand the people and events far more thoroughly than they otherwise would. Since students need to fill these out as they watch, the movie worksheets not only hold students accountable for paying attention, they also help them learn *more* as they take in the events of Selma in 1965! ---All problems focus in on key terms and phrases that really matter for understanding the Civil Rights era. ---All problems provide students with the name of the character delivering the dialog, so it's much easier to keep track of who is who and who did what! MORE THAN JUST WORKSHEETS The Selma Movie Worksheets set also contains a wealth of follow-up prompts that can be used as project assignments, discussion starters, essay topics, or research prompts. EVER WONDER ABOUT THE HISTORICAL ACCURACY OF A MOVIE SHOWN IN CLASS? With these Selma Movie Worksheets, the research into historical accuracy is already done for you. Teacher resource materials in the packet include a brief discussion of the main historical issues critics have identified with the movie, as well as helpful links to places online where teachers can learn more if they wish. In general, however, Selma was praised for its high degree of historical accuracy, which makes it an excellent movie to use in class. Perfect for Black History Month or Martin Luther King Day, "Selma" would also fit well into any unit on the Civil Rights Movement / 1960s or one that focuses on President Lyndon Baines Johnson.

ENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENTS TO ENGAGE DEEPLY WITH HISTORY USING THESE WWI CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS KEYED TO THE FILM MY BOY JACK What would it be like to actually fight in the First World War? How would it feel to watch a beloved son go off to fight -- and what could you do on the home front to help support him? How much should a government lie to its citizens about the conditions and progress of the war -- do the ends justify the means? These are just a few of the powerful questions addressed by the keenly insightful film, My Boy Jack, produced by the BBC and first aired on Decoration Day (the equivalent of Memorial Day in the United States). Unlike many war movies, this one is not fiction. It is the true story of Rudyard Kipling and his son, who wanted to go off to fight for king and country, and and after many struggles, finally got his wish -- much to the regret of the father who had encouraged him to go off to war at the tender young age of 17. WHY THIS MOVIE WORKS IN CLASS Because the main character is just 17 years old, high school students can really relate to him and put themselves in his shoes! They see him dealing with a difficult home situation (something many of our students have on their plates), applying for military service only to be rejected, pressing his case, going through basic training, serving as an officer training his own battalion, and finally, going "over the top" on the Western Front and confronting the very ugly realities of trench warfare. Students find it interesting and really pay attention -- and it doesn't hurt that John Kipling is played by the same actor many of them recognize as Harry Potter! These questions focus on issues raised by the film and will help students personalize and internalize how total war affected individuals in families. They will provide a springboard for class discussion and debate about issues such as nationalism, propaganda, and patriotism. Because the character of Jack is so close to the age of high school students studying the war, it's easy for students to put themselves in his shoes and really feel involved as they watch the film. These critical thinking questions expand on that angle and turn the movie into a much more powerful teaching tool. LEARNING IS THINKING! These 23 questions are not your usual "who did what?" kinds of problems. In fact, they aren't really designed to test students on the movie, but rather to get them thinking hard about life in 1915 Britain -- about the issues that real people had to face in that challenging era. Each question can open up the door for discussion and debate, encouraging students to dive deep into history and put themselves in another place and time. Great for essays, debates, and projects as well as class discussions!

My Boy Jack Movie Worksheets are designed for use with the excellent WWI film "My Boy Jack" starring Daniel Radcliffe and David Haig. ABOUT THE MOVIE: MY BOY JACK My Boy Jack is a dramatic presentation (not a documentary) telling the true story of Rudyard Kipling and his son, who was killed in World War I -- but who arguably should not have been allowed to join up at all, since he didn't meet the vision requirements for battlefield work. As such, the movie raises profound questions about the duties of patriotism and of parenting, even as it portrays *both* life in the trenches and on the home front. TOPICS COVERED IN THESE MY BOY JACK WORKSHEETS Topics covered in the movie include • nationalism • British empire • Motivations for war / Causes of WWI • Total War • Life on the UK home front • Trench warfare As you can see, all very appropriate and topical for world history and European history classes! SET UP WITH TEACHER NEEDS IN MIND The questions are organized into three separate files, each one covering a specific portion of the movie. The segments are timed such that in a normal high school period, you would have enough time to show a full segment of the movie and then use the associated question set with the students as either a quiz or discussion-starter activity. FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING: A THREE-DAY PLAN OR A TWO-DAY PLAN In this way you could show the 90 minute movie over a three day period and do assessment on it as you go. Another option would be to print out the Word files included in the download and have students fill them out as worksheets while the movie plays. In this way the entire movie could be completed in two class periods, including assessment being done as it plays. 68 Questions total, all true/false or multiple choice for super-fast correcting! FULLY EDITABLE FILES All questions are provided in both Word format for paper/pencil use and also in Examview format so that if you want to use them in CPS or Examview, you will not have to type them in. Either way, you can edit the files if you want to customize them! LOOKING FOR A CRITICAL THINKING OPTION? To help students analyze the film in more detail -- and to help personalize the experience of watching it, so students feel much more drawn into the action, you might want to look at my My Boy Jack Critical Thinking Questions, also here at TES.

______________________________________________________ What Buyers Are Saying: ---Excellent resource for the movie. ---I used it today with the movie. It was awesome. Nice job ---Great questions for the end of the year assignment ______________________________________________________ These Thirteen Days Worksheets consist of a comprehensive set of questions covering the movie "Thirteen Days" about the Cuban Missile Crisis. 138 questions in all, but super-fast to correct since they're all True/False or Multiple Choice! STRUCTURE OF THESE THIRTEEN DAYS MOVIE QUESTIONS WORKSHEETS You will get two full sets of questions, each covering the entire movie. 1) One set is divided into files that address very specific timed portions of the movie, so if you show from the start to 25 minutes in, for example, you will have an assessment ready to go for just that portion of the movie. 2) The other set is made up of general files that don't have time-stamps on them but cover approximately 1/4 of the movie each. See the free preview file, which has 20 True/False, 11 Multiple Choice, and 1 Numeric Question. This file is a general one that covers about the first fourth of the movie. HOW TO USE THESE THIRTEEN DAYS MOVIE QUESTION WORKSHEETS Because you will have TWO complete sets of movie questions, you can use one set as quick assessments during the showing, and the other as a final assessment! This is a good way to use the materials, since it means that the final test is not made up of the exact same questions students have already worked with, even though it will cover the same material. The "time stamped" question sets provide 44 questions while the "general" sets provide 94 additional questions. Formats provided: --->Examview .tst so you can print tests out or use them with CPS/Examview electronic testing systems --->Examview .bnk so you can combine the various question banks in any way you please to make your own tests (For example, combine one set of files to make a during-viewing paper/pencil worksheet and combine the other set of files to make a post-test.) --->.rtf Microsoft Word and other word processors can open these files. The rtf files are perfect for making worksheets or adding other enhancements to the files. Movie Questions by Elise Parker

_________________________________________________ What Buyers Are Saying: ---Great for keeping them engaged! Great movie, too. ---Great resource to keep the kids on task! ---Great to keep them on track! _________________________________________________ This Thirteen Days Worksheet Uses a Cloze / Fill-in Format that Helps Students Pay Close Attention! ABOUT THIS THIRTEEN DAYS MOVIE WORKSHEET This worksheet is designed to be used by students as they watch the film, encouraging them to focus in on key details even as they enjoy the action, intrigue, and adventure of 1962's Cuban Missile Crisis. Structure of worksheet: Key statements from the film's script are provided, but important words or phrases are blocked out. Students are to fill in the missing words or phrases as they watch the film. I have used these worksheets with my classes and have found them to be highly successful at helping students follow the movie better. The worksheet is two pages long and has 30 cloze (fill-in-the-blank) problems to be solved while students watch the film. TEACHER CONVENIENCE FEATURES INCLUDED IN THIS THIRTEEN DAYS WORKSHEETS PACKET I have organized student materials and teacher materials in several ways so that you have a variety of options. Student Materials: Two worksheet versions are provided for your convenience: 1) Re-usable. Make one class set and use it with multiple groups over multiple years. Save on paper, ink, and the hassle of making printouts! 2) Consumable. If you prefer to let students write directly on the worksheets, use this version instead! Teacher Materials: Three answer keys are provided to you: 1) Answers provided in context for use in class discussions of the material. This answer key might also be easiest to use if you have students use the consumable worksheets. 2) Answers provided in context as above, but with timestamps to help you keep track of where each problem occurs in the film. These timestamps match the DVD version of the film. 3) A more traditional linear answer key to make correcting student work simpler. This answer key is probably easiest to use if you have students use the re-usable worksheets.

These War Games Worksheets provide teachers with a comprehensive set of questions, all in movie order, covering the 1983 movie War Games starring Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy. WAR GAMES MOVIE WORKSHEETS HELP STUDENTS SEE THE COLD WAR FROM A TEEN PERSPECTIVE! This movie is great for U.S. History classes because it captures the mood of the nation in the early 1980s. Fear of nuclear war was rampant -- so much so that there was a nuclear freeze / unilateral disarmament movement gaining ground. Even though the movie plot is fiction, it is useful because it is a genuine product of the fears in play at that time. It also depicts the beginnings of the computer-based technological culture that we live in today and weaves in 1980s cultural strands about computer hacking and video gaming, both trends which have continued to this day but which began in force in the early 1980s. I usually show this movie to my classes after state testing has been completed and we have time for things that are still historical, but are also very fun. Students love this movie and watch it with rapt attention. With this question set, you can give them something to do during the movie or you can assess them afterwards as a closing assessment. Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products! To give teacher maximum options, the question sets are provided both in movie order and in scrambled order. Teachers that like to have their students use worksheets during a movie to follow along will probably like the former. The latter might be best for teachers that want to have students review concepts after the movie -- or a specific section of it -- has been viewed in its entirety. A Lesson Plan That Can Last At Least Three Days The question set is split into three sections which more-or-less coordinate with showing the movie over three class periods.

These Hitler: The Rise of Evil worksheets are designed to be used by students as they watch the film. Students will pay better attention to the movie and will focus in on important details as they solve the problems included in the activity. USING THESE HITLER THE RISE OF EVIL MOVIE WORKSHEETS The approach here is cloze, also known as fill-ins: Key statements from the film's script are included on a worksheet, with important words or phrases blocked out. Students are to fill in the missing words or phrases as they watch the film. I have used these worksheets with my classes and have found them to be highly successful at helping students follow the movie better and feel accountable for the class time spent on the movie. Students stay on task more when they feel accountable. As every teacher knows, some students treat an instructional movie as though it were free time. These worksheets will help discourage that notion. The worksheet is several pages long and has 70 cloze (fill-in-the-blank) problems to be solved while students watch the 3 hour-long film. The problems to be solved often guide students to historically significant items, helping them to gain a better understanding of the importance and context of terms such as: Communist, Versailles, Fuhrer, Munich, putsch, swastika, Reichstag, chancellor... and many more! Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products! Accordingly, I have organized student materials and teacher materials in several ways so that you have a variety of options. Student Materials: Two worksheet versions are provided for your convenience: 1) Re-usable. Make one class set and use it with multiple groups over multiple years. Save on paper, ink, and the hassle of making printouts! 2) Consumable. If you prefer to let students write directly on the worksheets, use this version! Teacher Materials: Two answer keys are provided to you: 1) Answers provided in context for use in class discussions of the material. This answer key includes timestamps of when each key statement occurs during the movie. This answer key is probably the more convenient one if you have students use the consumable worksheets. 2) A more traditional linear answer key to make correcting student work simpler. This answer key is probably more convenient if you have students use the re-usable worksheets.

160 Questions -- a comprehensive assessment -- of the 3-hour movie Hitler: The Rise of Evil. Students will pay better attention to the movie when they know they will be tested on it after viewing. Alternately, these questions are set up so that you can use them as during-viewing worksheets if you prefer. Teacher convenience is a hallmark of my products. With that in mind, there are detailed annotations on many "false" answers and some "true" answers -- the better to assist you in going over the questions / conducting class discussions. What These Hitler the Rise of Evil Worksheets Include To make using the worksheets very easy, the questions are divided into four files that cover different phases of the movie. This will allow you to show the movie over several class periods and assess students as you go along. * 68 Questions (38 True/False and 30 Multiple Choice) cover the first 56 minutes. * 38 Questions (23 True/False and 15 Multiple Choice) cover from 52:00 to 1:47:00 of the film. * 27 Questions (15 True/False and 12 Multiple Choice) cover from 1:47:00 to 2:25:00 * 27 Questions (18 True/False and 9 Multiple Choice) cover from 2:25:00 to the end of the film. There are 160 questions in all. That means that you have plenty to choose from if you would prefer to administer your students shorter tests, or if you would like to make several versions of tests. Another convenience feature for you is a variety of different formats: You will receive an Examview testbank .bnk file, an Examview test .tst file, and an .rtf file that you can open in a word processing program. Thus you will find it easy to print out worksheets if you wish, or use the files electronically with Examview or CPS if that suits your teaching style better. The .bnk files can be combined together in any combination if you wish to make longer tests, for example, a master test covering the entire movie. However you choose to use the questions, you shouldn't be in the position of having to re-type them! These questions are perfect for assessing how well students paid attention to the movie, and they can also be used as a springboard to preview important points in the movie or to discuss it with the class afterwards. You can have students take notes during the movie and use them with these questions afterwards, or require them to do the questions from memory only.
