Food Matters Movie Guide (2008)

This Food Matters Movie Guide consists of 11 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information. Challenge students to critically think about the health ideas presented in the film and grapple with the idea that the pharmaceutical industry may not have your health as their number priority.

An answer key is not included as many questions are open-ended and encourage students to analyze the film. Many answers will not fit into a 'box'. Students are encouraged to construct their own meaning from the characters' dialogue and behavior.

This product includes:
A student movie guide, PDF print version (4 pages)
A student movie guide, PDF digital fillable form version (4 pages)

This digital version is intended for a paperless classroom if your students each have a tablet/iPad. Here is a method that worked for me:

1. Ask students to download a PDF editor app if they don't already have one. It needs to have a save function as well. I used Foxit PDF.
2. Host the file. I used google drive to share a folder with the students.
3. Ask students to save the file in a designated google drive folder using a naming convention. (I use LastnameFirstnameMovieGuide.pdf)


Download these free resources as great extension activities for this movie guide or other movie/narrative related lessons throughout the year:
