Description
This sports film by Disney is about the incredible journey of the first Jamaican bobsled team. Several athletes fail to make the summer Olympics and later seek the guidance of Irving Blitzer to help coach them to make it into the winter Olympics in Calgary for the sport of bobsledding. Despite the many obstacles that the team faced, they turned many heads and made it into the Olympics through their dedication and hard work.
This particular movie guide is great for your students because it not only gives them questions to complete while watching the movie, but it also includes questions that will allow them to really practice their critical thinking and self-reflection skills. Your students will critically analyze topics about dedication, being in new environments, voicing your opinion, and others. This movie guide does a good gob at allowing students to realize what some of their own strengths are while also helping them to identify some of their proudest moments.
This 1993 film is rated PG and stars the following actors/actresses: John Candy, Doug E. Doug, Leon Robinson, Malik Yoba, Rawle D. Lewis, and others. The running time for the film is 1 hours and 38 minutes long.
***The Preview File for this movie guide is a mixture of various pages from different movie guides that I have made so you can get a better idea of what my movie guides are like. However, Page #5 from the preview file is directly taken from this particular movie guide so that you can get a small taste of what is actually included within this purchase. All of my movie guides follow the same pattern as the preview file.
This movie guide includes the following:
- 25 short Answer Questions – These are short questions to be answered while students watch the movie. They are basically used to keep the students’ attention and hold them accountable for the activity. These are usually completed individually but could also be completed in groups.
- 5 Critical Thinking Questions – These are questions for students to answer after having watched the movie. They are to be completed individually in about 3-4 sentences. They are designed to allow the students to practice their critical thinking skills based on various parts of the movie.
- 5 Reflection Questions – These reflection questions are to be answered individually after having watched the movie. They can be answered in about 3-4 sentences but are designed to have students relate various parts or aspects from the movie to their own lives. Students are encouraged to share their specific life experiences from their past, present, or future plans.
- Written Essay – This part is to allow students to individually write a 4-5 paragraph essay about a specific topic that was addressed in the movie. The topic and/or questions to be answered for the essay are stated in the instructions for the activity.
- Group Activity – This activity is to be completed in a small group and is designed to have students get together, do some research about a topic from the movie, and then discuss and/or present their findings to the class.
All the questions are available in a PDF format for quick and easy printing as well as in a Word format in case you would like to modify some of the questions to the specific needs of your class. A Teacher Answer Key is available for the 25 short answer questions and I have also included a document with instructions and recommendations for using this movie guide in your classes.
Thank you very much for viewing this document and please feel free contact me if you have any questions!
