Tangled Movie Guide-Common Core Aligned for Middle School
This product includes a movie guide for Disney's animated film, "Tangled." There are questions about plot, characters, vocabulary, and theme. There are also two short constructed response questions (great for homework or test prep). Each SCR comes with a template to guide students in writing a complete answer with evidence and commentary.
This would be a great sub plan or a fun activity for just before a holiday break (when you need a movie day, but don't want to give up a day of instruction).
