Product description
From the author
This guide accompanies The Ron Clark Story (2006). Twenty-two questions combine viewing comprehension, an inference prompt, an ethics question and a personal reflection about a favorite teacher.
The download has two two-page PDFs: student questions and a teacher key. Both include a “Behind the Movie” background section. Supply the film separately and use pauses for discussion or longer responses.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students recall and record key plot events from 'The Ron Clark Story' in chronological order as they watch.
Students make an inference about Mr. Clark's motivation for visiting a student's home before the first day of class.
Students evaluate a moral question — whether Mr. Clark crossed a boundary by cooking dinner for a student's family — and support their opinion.
Teaching tips
Pause after question 5 to discuss the inference question as a class before continuing, since it asks students to reason about Mr. Clark's motivation rather than recall a stated fact.
Use question 14's 'stop and think' prompt as a short discussion or debate before students commit to a written answer.
Share the 'Behind the Movie' background on the real Ron Clark Academy after the film as background supplied with the guide, distinguishing its dated school details from current information.
Skills covered
Sequential comprehension — students track and answer 22 questions in the chronological order events occur in the film.
Inference-making — students reason about a character's unstated motivation in the home-visit question.
Ethical reasoning — students evaluate a value-laden classroom scenario in the 'stop and think' prompt.
