It's December. You're running on fumes. Your students are half-checked out. And somewhere between the grading pile and the countdown to break, you need to fill some class periods. 

You could show Elf and call it survival. 

Or you could show something that actually does something for your students AND for you. This free toolkit gives you three activities that work with any December film. 

Whether you're showing Edward Scissorhands, You've Got Mail, It's a Wonderful Life, or something else entirely, these tools help you make it matter without requiring you to perform at full capacity. 

Inside:  

• A reflection template that works for students AND gives you something to think about 
• A community mapping activity that makes theme tangible instead of abstract 
• A journal prompt for you (because December asks a lot, and you deserve a minute to process it)  

December is hard. This makes one part of it easier.
