Dead Poets Society (1989): Complete Movie Guide
ELA, Writing, Creative Writing, Grade 9, 10, 11, 12, Activities
"Dead Poets Society" is a 1989 American drama film directed by Peter Weir and starring Robin Williams. The movie is set in the conservative and strict Welton Academy, an all-boys preparatory school in Vermont, in the 1950s. The film follows the story of a group of students who are inspired by their English teacher, John Keating (played by Williams), to challenge the traditional ways of thinking and to seize the day. Keating encourages his students to think for themselves, to be independent and creative, and to follow their dreams. As the story unfolds, we see the students grow and evolve as they take risks, explore their passions, and challenge the status quo. However, their newfound independence and creativity clash with the rigid expectations of the school and their families, leading to conflict and tragedy. Throughout the movie, Keating's teachings are embodied in his repeated exhortation to "Carpe Diem," or "seize the day." He encourages his students to make the most of their lives, to embrace their passions, and to pursue their dreams without fear. The film's themes of individualism, non-conformity, and the power of art and literature to inspire change and challenge authority have resonated with audiences for decades, making "Dead Poets Society" a beloved classic of American cinema. This 20-question movie guide will help your students stay focused during this powerful and inspirational movie. This guide comes with a copy of Walt Whitman's "O Captain! My Captain!" poem. Lastly students are given a task to write a poem. This movie guide comes with an answer key. Ready to print and ready to use! Enjoy!

Writing Center Words & Write-the Room Activity – FARM
ELA, Writing, Creative Writing, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Centers, Activities
Help students with their creative writing with these farm themed words and images for your K-2 classroom Writing Center . Words with images include: barn, chick, cow, donkey, duck, farmers, feed, goat, goose, hay, hen, horse, pig, rooster, sheep, and tractor. My students tend to love the Writing Center . I always have plenty of tools and “help” available to them, including themed pages like these for the farm. I print two copies so there is no arguing about having to share, and I laminate them for durability. Students can easily grab a laminated word page and use it to help write an amazing creative story. Page 4 of the PDF is for the Writing Center . Print and laminate one or two and place it in the Writing Center for your students to access as needed. Also included are 16 cards for a Write–the–Room activity if you choose to use them. (I have only used this with my Kindergarten class.) These cards are four-per-page, with the same words and images used for the Writing Center . Pages 5-8 of the PDF are cards for use as a Write-the-Room activity. You may wish to laminate for durability to be able to use year-after-year, and use sticky tack (poster putty) to mount it to walls, bookshelves, file cabinets, etc. I find this is easier than tape. On of my grade-level teachers prints in gray scale, tapes them up, and then lets students take them home after use. Whatever works best for you. Recording pages for the Write-the-Room are included on pages 9 and 10. Page 9 is a full-size recording sheet, and page 10 has 2 half-size recording sheets if you use mini-clip boards like I do. Please note - there are ten pages in this resource but the first three pages are for "packaging" purposes.
