Les Miserables Book Review Packet / Movie Guide

Cam Teaches ELA

This comprehensive guide can be used as a book review packet OR a movie guide for Les Miserables.

I am selling 5 documents here in this bundle of resources to use in a U.S. History class or a contemporary issues class at the secondary level. These are articles with questions, pictures, maps, and webquests available. I began the unit showing clips from the movie, "13 Days" with Kevin Costner. This serves as a great introduction and a mini tutorial for students. The webquests allow students to look at the timelines and make comparisons to the 60's and today.
