Session 2 Lesson Plan
Students will watch the class-selected movie, use a guided viewing sheet to note key story elements, participate in a group discussion of their favorite parts, and complete an exit ticket reflecting on their experience.
Watching our chosen movie together reinforces active listening, comprehension, and social-emotional skills. Reflecting afterward helps students articulate their thoughts, practice expressive language, and build community through shared experiences.
