Sicko Worksheets, Movie Guide, and Debate/Essay/Project Topics

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.
