Description
This biographical drama is based on a true story about the journey that two sisters make in order to seek safety and asylum for their family. Because of the war going on in their home country of Syria, Sara and Yusra ultimately decide to leave their country and try and make it to Germany where they can be safe and later apply to have their family be relocated there as well. On their journey, they befriend other refugees and must stick together through challenging obstacles in order to make it to their destination safely. After finally arriving in Germany, Yusra finds a swimming coach, Sven, to help train her so that she can still try and achieve her dream of making it to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
This particular movie guide is great for your students because it not only gives them questions to complete while watching the movie, but it also includes questions that will allow them to really practice their critical thinking and self-reflection skills. Your students will critically analyze topics about belonging, overcoming obstacles, achieving dreams, and others.
This 2022 film is rated PG-13 and stars the following actors/actresses: Nathalie Issa, Manal Issa, Ali Suliman, Ahmed Malek, Matthias Schweighöfer, and others. The running time for the film is 2 hours and 14 minutes long.
***PLEASE NOTE: The Preview File for this movie guide is a mixture of various pages from different movie guides that I have made so you can get a better idea of what my movie guides are like. However, Page #1 is directly taken from this product so that you can get a small taste of what is included within this purchase. All of my movie guides follow the same pattern as the preview file.
This movie guide includes the following:
- 25 short Answer Questions – These are short questions to be answered while students watch the movie. They are basically used to keep the students’ attention and hold them accountable for the activity. These are usually completed individually but could also be completed in groups.
- 5 Critical Thinking Questions – These are questions for students to answer after having watched the movie. They are to be completed individually in about 3-4 sentences. They are designed to allow the students to practice their critical thinking skills based on various parts of the movie.
- 5 Reflection Questions – These reflection questions are to be answered individually after having watched the movie. They can be answered in about 3-4 sentences but are designed to have students relate various parts or aspects from the movie to their own lives. Students are encouraged to share their specific life experiences from their past, present, or future plans.
- Written Essay – This part is to allow students to individually write a 4-5 paragraph essay about a specific topic that was addressed in the movie. The topic and/or questions to be answered for the essay are stated in the instructions for the activity.
- Group Activity – This activity is to be completed in a small group and is designed to have students get together, do some research about a topic from the movie, and then discuss and/or present their findings to the class.
All the questions are available in a PDF format for quick and easy printing as well as in a Word format in case you would like to modify some of the questions to the specific needs of your class. A Teacher Answer Key is available for the 25 short answer questions and I have also included a document with instructions and recommendations for using this movie guide in your classes.
