The Book of Life Movie Guide | Day of the Dead (PG - 2014) challenges students to analyze the actions that a selfless hero takes and how friendships can change over time and recover from disagreements. Evaluate Joaquin’s internal conflict and identify specific song lyric meanings. This surprising animated film based on Day of the Dead folklore packs a great educational punch.
This resource consists of 11 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.
This product .zip file includes:
- A student movie guide, PDF print version (4 pages)
*An answer key is included with this movie guide, however many answers will vary as students are encouraged to construct their own meaning from the characters’ dialogue and behavior. See the preview for samples.
*A Google Slides Version of the Movie Guide
*A generic, editable movie guide permission slip
*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 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
- Pause the movie at each question to give students time to write/discuss

that's really good because it gives watching the film a purpose and the pupils enjoyed pausing the film and talking about the characters and things that happen in the film, many thanks
