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 : )
