The Objective:

Students come up with a movie title that relates to what you just lectured about or covered in class and explain their reasoning.

​

There are two ways to play.

​

First, you can allow students to turn-and-talk and come up with titles aloud, sharing as a whole class.

​

Alternately, you can have students complete these paper versions to turn in for you to examine more deeply.

​

Either approach lets students quickly explain their learning in a creative, open-ended way.

​

We even used Movie Night in staff PD to reflect on our implementation of some Teach Like a Champion strategies!
