Three Identical Strangers: "Interrupted" Film Guide and Worksheet with Answers
- Word Document File
Description
Three Identical Strangers is a facinating case study of three identical triplets separated at birth only to be accidentally reunited at the age of 19, and the darkness surrounding their separation and its aftermath. It is a great classroom tool for delving into the "nature vesus nurture" debate. This digital download (.docx) provides a film guide with content questions "interrrupted" with discussion questions to be used in small group or whole class conversations. Also included is a worksheet to have students collect data about the brothers' similarities and differences in terms of personality, physical characteristics, and their environment, and then asks them to make conclusions about the influence of nature and nurture on these factors. An answer key is provided to the film guide questions. Also can be used as a stand alone sub plan!
The film is rated PG-13 for some mature thematic material, including discussion of suicide.

If you liked season 1 of the Serial podcast, then you will LOVE the listening guide for Bear Brook, a facinating tale of a murder that would make forensic history. GREAT for remote learning!
Listen to episode 1 and I promise you'll be hooked!!! Check out my guide for episode 1 for free!

Another activity I love is this podcast activity (link below) that uses the popular Radiolab podcast to introduce the important but complex topic of the CRISPR gene editing technique. This question and answer worksheet has students follow along with the podcast, answering questions as they go, but "interrupts" the podcast to have students think more deeply about the ethics and implications of this powerful new technology. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/CRISPR-Interrupted-Radiolab-Podcast-printable-worksheet-4329465
