Brave New World Movie Guide | Worksheet | Questions | Google Slides (TV - 1998)

This Brave New World Movie Guide | Worksheet | Questions | Google Slides (TV - 1998) is designed to help students create a deeper understanding of Aldous Huxley’s famous dystopian civilization. Compare how kids are raised in the ‘civilization’ to how kids are raised today. Explore the concepts of pain, conditioning and promiscuity as virtue. Finally identify the effects of ‘soma’ on the civilization and possible replacements for ‘soma’ today.
Please take note that this is the 1998 TV version of the film. I’d strongly advise checking out the IMDb parental guide for Brave New World before viewing. Although this film is unrated, and was made for TV, it has various scenes depicting nudity and sexual behavior.

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 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
