Vivo Movie Guide | Worksheet | Questions | Google Classroom (PG - 2021)

Vivo Movie Guide | Worksheet | Questions | Google Classroom (PG - 2021) challenges students to analyze characters, their relationships and their growth. Identify and explains puns, metaphors and nuance in meaning throughout Lin Manuel Miranda’s lyrics. Ask students to research Kinkajous/Spoonbills in an effort to find similarities between nature and Vivo/Dancarino. Ask students to describe Gabi’s strong character traits, how she responds to obstacles and whether or not students would adopt any of her traits. Also, if desired, complete a bonus Spanish glossary with common terms used throughout the movie.

This resource consists of 11 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.

This product .zip file includes:

• A student movie guide, PDF print 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 Slides Version of the Movie Guide
  *A generic, editable movie guide permission slip
  *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 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
