Lord of the Flies Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Form (R - 1990)

Lord of the Flies Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (R - 1990) challenges students to analyze the decisions and characters in the powerful story. Explore the concept of the ‘monster’ and how Jack uses it to increase his control over the boys. Ask students to think about the responsibility that each boy had on the island for the terrible, tragic events that unfolded.

Note: This movie is rated R and has a few occurrences of the F-word during the two main standoffs between Ralph and Jack. It can be used as a highly educational, thought-provoking film, but better for older students. Do an internet search for language for more details.

This resource consists of 13 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.

  **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
