Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students track plot chronology by answering fill-in-the-blank and short-answer questions in the order events occur in the film.

  • Students recall specific character names, roles and plot details (Larry's former job, the museum's night-guard rules, the Egyptian tablet) from viewing.

Teaching tips

  • Pause the film periodically if students need extra time on a blank, since the questions are ordered to match the film's chronology.

  • Use the teacher key to check answers right after viewing rather than mid-film, so the movie is not repeatedly interrupted.

  • Preview the word "chronological" beforehand so students understand the worksheet's own instructions before watching.

Skills covered

  • Sequential recall — students answer 17 questions ordered to match the sequence events occur on screen.

  • Note-taking while viewing — students fill in short blanks and answers in real time as they watch rather than afterward.

  • Detail-level comprehension — students track specific character facts, such as Larry's former job and the Egyptian tablet's role, throughout the film.
