Living On One Dollar Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (2013)

Showing your students this short hour long documentary is a fantastic idea. Create sympathy for people living on one dollar day through this unique indie-style documentary filmed by university students. Discuss with your students the 8 high-level short answer and essay questions in this 4 page PDF movie guide. Pause at the designated times on the movie guide for each question and watch your students actively engage with what they have been watching.

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
