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 : )

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
