The Boys Of '36 ~ 'The Boys In The Boat' ~ Movie Guide + Word Search

"Once the race starts, there are no timeouts, no substitutions.

Rowing calls upon the limits of human endurance."

George Pocock (Designer & builder of racing shells ~ 1891 - 1976)

This is the story of the University of Washington rowing team that won Olympic Gold at the 1936 Olympic Games held in Berlin.

These eight working-class boys from the Depression Era pulled off a stunning, come-from-behind victory to capture first place in the last Olympics before World War II.

This is an excellent American Experience documentary with footage from the actual event. It's also a nice supplement if your class is reading the book The Boys In The Boat.

You get:

1. A follow-along question sheet with 20 questions all on one page

2. An answer key

3. A follow-up word search of important vocabulary

4. An answer key

5. An expansion activity using the word search

Having students select from multiple choice answers allows

more time for their eyes to stay on the film and not spend it

looking down writing out answers and, thus, not miss

important moments in the film.

Everything is classroom-ready so your students can enjoy this inspiring true story. (5 pages)
