Description
Their Eyes Were Watching God Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (TV - 2005) challenges students to think critically about the life of Janie and the relationships she builds throughout the movie. Explore the founding of Eatonville, Florida in the film and compare it to the historical record. Ask students put into their own words what it means to live life as if 'their eyes are watching God'.
Teacher's Notes:
- Although this movie is rated for TV, I'd recommend previewing the movie or carefully looking at a parental guide such as IMDb's, to make sure this movie is appropriate for your students.
- Skip 1:15:00 - 1:16:30 if you want to avoid the prolonged love scene between Janie and Tea Cake
- If the time stamps on this movie guide don't match up with your version of the movie, I've included a short description of where to stop the film for each question.
Check the preview file for high resolution sample questions to see if this movie guide is suitable for your students. This resource consists of 11 high-level, short answer reflection and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.
