Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey Movie Guide | Worksheet | Questions | Google Formats (PG - 2020) challenges students to learn life lessons from this new Christmas musical. Compare how different characters view life, explore how Jeronicus changes throughout the film and the themes present within the lyrics. Think like a director and examine how scenes progress the plot. Finally, interpret the idea of ‘being ready for the magic’, identify the life lesson it contains, and describe how it would change every day life if applied.

This resource consists of 14 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.

This product .zip file includes:

  *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
