SELMA
FILM STUDY WORKSHEET -- FOR A
WORK OF HISTORICAL FICTION
Taken from: http://www.teachwithmovies.org/guides/film-study-worksheet-social-studies.html
Read
the questions before you watch the movie so that you will know what to look for.
At breaks during the showing or when the film is over you will have an
opportunity to make short notes in the spaces provided. If you make notes while
the movie is playing, make sure that your note taking doesn't interfere with
carefully watching the film. You do not need to make any notes on the worksheet
but when the movie is completed you will be required to fully respond to the
questions.
Complete the assignment by answering each question in paragraph form on a
separate sheet of paper. Answers need to be complete and comprehensive, demonstrating that you paid attention and
thought about what was shown on the screen. You may use more
than one paragraph if necessary. Be sure that the topic sentence of your first
paragraph uses key words from the question. All responses should be in complete
sentences using proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Questions 6
and 10 ask about your personal experience and you may respond in the first
person. All other responses should be in
the third person. When Questions 7 - 10 are assigned as homework, research the
historical event and provide citations to the authorities on which you rely for
any facts or conclusions cited in your responses.
