A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Movie Viewing Guide | Worksheet | Google (1973) is a short, 30 minute activity great for a quick, no-prep Thanksgiving lesson. Challenge your students to think critically about the meaning of Thanksgiving, and learn a life lesson in communicating clearly from the misunderstanding between Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty. This can also make a great substitute lesson since it is unrated and certainly appropriate for all audiences.

Note: This film can be found on some streaming video sites as of November 2017. Simply search the title and you can find a full length version of the film.

Check the preview file for high resolution sample questions to see if this movie guide is suitable for your students. This resource consists of 7 high-level, short answer reflection 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 (2 pages)
  • A student movie guide, PDF digital fillable form version (2 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 Forms Version of the Movie Guide
    *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
