The Croods 2 Viewing Guide for World History
A bilingual (English/Spanish) viewing guide for The Croods: A New Age, built around seven Neolithic Revolution vocabulary terms that students define and sketch while watching the film. It builds historical vocabulary, connection-making between film and content, and visual memory, and is designed to be leveled as mild, medium, or spicy versions for multilingual learners and students with disabilities in a 9th grade world history class.
“Create a mild, medium, spicy viewing guide for the Croods 2 for my 9th grade world history class with multilingual students and students with disabilities.”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use the guide during or before a movie session, pausing briefly after scenes that illustrate each term so students can add a quick sketch, and allow roughly 45 to 60 minutes including a short debrief.
- Discussion question: How does the film's depiction of the Croods' hunting and gathering life compare with the farming and settlement changes that defined the Neolithic Revolution?
- Scaffold for multilingual learners and students with disabilities: preview the Spanish definitions aloud, allow sketches or symbols in place of written notes, and offer the mild version with fewer terms or more visual cues.
- Extension for advanced students: have them research one innovation from the film's "new age" setting, such as agriculture or shelter design, and write a short paragraph linking it to a real Neolithic development.
- Estimated time: about 45 to 60 minutes for the full guide, or 20 to 30 minutes for a shortened mild version focused on three or four terms.
