Ender's Game Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Slides (PG13 - 2013)

Challenge students to explore the complexities of heroism, identity, and moral choices with this “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” movie guide. Analyze the symbolic fight between Miles and Spot, drawing parallels to the chaos and confusion in Miles’ own life. Discuss the significance of Miles advising his father to let him “spread his wings,” and the broader implications of autonomy and trust in parental relationships. Reflect on the evolution of Miles’ parents’ attitudes towards his growth and independence. Encourage a thoughtful dialogue about taking control of one’s narrative, as seen through Miguel’s defiance of predetermined stories, and Gwen’s initiative to form her own team, underscoring the themes of independence and creating one’s path in life.

This resource consists of 11 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.

  **CCSS Note: I’ve taken the liberty of aligning certain reading standards with the act of consuming content via the movie instead. Although students are not reading they are asked to perform the same cognitive functions on the content that they consumed from the movie.

**Distance Learning Tips:

• Distribute the Google Slides version to each student
• Use the screen sharing tool on your group call software to play the movie
