Safety Movie Viewing Guide & Worksheet

Add another interesting element to your class with this “Safety” Movie Viewing Guide and Worksheet.

The viewing guide is split into four sections to go along with the movie. Each of the four sections contains questions that are designed to make students think about the principles at play in the film as well as to ensure that students are paying attention to the plot.

There is also a post-screening activity sheet that asks specific questions about the content in the film and asks students to think about the decisions made in the film in regards to NCAA rules and regulations. Students will also be required to conduct research to learn about new NCAA and Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) policies that impact student athletes.

This viewing guide was designed for a Current Events lesson titled “Should Colleges and Universities Pay Student Athletes?” The viewing guide can be used independently or with that lesson.

How the Lesson Works:
★ The Viewing Guide is split into four sections with short answer, true/false, and multiple choice questions from the movie.
★ The Post-Screening Worksheet is designed to be completed after students have viewed the movie in its entirety.
