Dear Fellow Teachers, I’m teachertravis and I’ve created a collection of educational movie guides so that teachers can find reliable, high-quality resources. I use my 10 years of experience in the classroom to craft questions that are thought provoking and valuable for young minds. I hope that you’ll find these movie guides to be excellent supplemental resources. Don’t show another movie to your class without one, you'll see what a difference they make : )

The Game Changers Documentary Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (2018) challenges students to get the most out of this Netflix info-dense, pro plant-based diet film. Explore the archaeological evidence for plant-based diets, the cause and effects of inflammation, and sources of complete protein. Compare the marketing of the tobacco industry with the meat/dairy industry and think critically about how a global meat-based diet affects livestock production and the world’s environment. Finally, ask students to research one of the athletes featured in the film and also write a persuasive essay for a plant-based diet using what details from the film.
This resource consists of 12 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.

*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
