Free Birds Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Forms (PG - 2013) challenges students to explore the meaning of Thanksgiving and holidays in general. Use context to discuss and define words like ‘domesticated’ and ‘hypothetically’. Identify the lessons Reggie learns from his journey and ask students how they could apply them to their lives. Discuss the literary concepts of anthropomorphism and foreshadowing. Finally, research if turkey was on the menu for the first ‘Thanksgiving’ feast at the Plymouth Colony in 1621 and find out what was on the actual menu.

This resource consists of 10 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)
  • A student movie guide, PDF digital fillable form 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 Forms & Slides 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
