Description

The Fault in Our Stars Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (PG13 - 2014) challenges students to analyze this emotional story about life, love, happiness and the finality of death. Ask students to think critically about the meaning of Augustus's cigarette metaphor and the communication between Hazel and her parents regarding her eventual passing. Ponder the reason why John Green used this title and how it relates to a Cassius quote from Shakespeare's famous play, Julius Caesar.

Note: This resource is for the 2014 movie based 2012 novel by John Green of the same title.

Check the preview file for high resolution sample questions to see if this movie guide is suitable for your students. This resource consists of 12 high-level, short answer reflection and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.

CCSS Note: I’ve taken the liberty of aligning certain reading standards with the act of consuming content via the movie instead. Although students aren’t reading they are asked to perform the same cognitive functions on the content that they consumed from the movie.

General Tips for Using the Print version of this Movie Guide:

  1. Print one, double-sided movie guide for each student
  2. Preview the next question on the movie guide as you complete each one, this can help students pay attention to important upcoming events.
  3. Pause at the times designated on the movie guide, encourage students to debate, discuss and talk about their ideas before writing their answers.
  4. Discourage students from simply copying answers.
  5. Randomly choose a student to share their answer and defend it if necessary.
  6. If time allows, feel free to rewind and show important parts of the movie again for additional analysis.
  7. After completing the short answers, allow 5-10 minutes for each essay question at the end of the film.
  8. On average, this movie guide will require about 45-60 minutes in addition to the length of the movie.
