This guide may also work well as a sub plan for your substitute teacher.
PART 1 – Comprehension questions in chronological order. I have made two sets for differentiation. The multiple choice questions may also work well with ESL/ELL students. Answer keys included.
- 20 questions requiring full sentence answers.
- 20 multiple choice questions with 3 possible answers
PART 2 – Storyboard, synopsis and discussion questions.
- Students to draw a 9 scene storyboard of what they believe to be the most important parts in the episode. To include a brief description for each scene. Remind students they can look at the episode questions to help with the sequences.
- Using their storyboards as guides, students to write a synopsis of the episode.
- 5 thought provoking questions to be used as a class discussion. May work well if completed in pairs first then shared with the rest of the class. Includes example/suggested answers.
