Making a Movie Day into an End-of-Year Lesson Plan

We’ve all been there, and we know it’s true. When you get down to those last couple of weeks before the end of the year, sometimes you absolutely need to throw on a movie and get down to catching up on all there is to do. But how can you make sure your students are still learning? And how can you make your lesson plans show that movie-watching can be instructional?

Review Elements of Plot, Story, and More While Watching a Movie in Class! 

We’ve got you covered with our printable Movie Day Comprehension Menu! This printable reading review activity takes all of those literacy skills you’ve been learning, condenses them into a grid, and applies them to movies! 

While watching any plot-based film for kids, students will review the following.

• Character
• Setting
• Problem and Solution
• Genre
• Resolution
• And more!

We’ve created three versions of our Movie Day menu for different year levels and student ability levels. They are discreetly marked with stars to indicate the reading level.
