Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone Documentary Movie Guide | Worksheet (2019)

Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (Like a Girl) Documentary Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (TVMA - 2019) challenges students put themselves in the shoes of the young girls attending Skateistan. Compare what courage means to the girls in the film with what it means to students at your school. Discuss how learning to skateboard affects the girls and their confidence and what activities your students can learn that will have a similar effect.

This resource consists of 6 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
