FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter Movie Unit, Questions/Activities”

by Julie Faulkner
9th - 12th Grade


The Memory Keeper’s Daughter tells a poignant story of how society’s antiquated way of thinking about people with disabilities and how a family allows the past to haunt them to the point of destruction. To develop the plot, the author beautifully weaves the metaphor of photography throughout. Thus, it is the perfect study for a journalism or photography class. The six questions on this movie-viewing guide focus on the photographic element of the movie. It can be used during the movie or afterwards for a discussion. Showing the movie with these questions as a guide would even be great if you needed sub plans for yearbook class!

All the work is done! Just print and go!

Included:

  • 100% editable Word file
  • Questions and suggested answers
  • Common Core Standards
  • Super Simple Step by Step Sub Plan Form

*You will need to obtain a copy of the film.
