Unbroken Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Slides (PG13 - 2014)

This Unbroken Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Slides (PG13 - 2014) challenges students to connect on a personal level with the struggles that Louis Zamperini faces during WWII. Explore the inner workings of general Watanabe and the hatred that he displays towards the prisoners of war. Compare Watanabe’s actions to the definition of a bully. Discuss how learning about Zamperini’s struggles can help the average person in their daily lives and change their perspective.

(Note: This movie focuses more on the story’s plot, characters, motivations and relationships than the historical dates and battles of WWII)

This resource consists of 15 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 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
