1. Create an assignment using the Google Form
2. Use the screen sharing tool on your conference calling software to play the movie
3. Pause the movie at each question to give students time to write/discuss
4. Make sure students input their name, so when you open your copy of the form, you can see each student’s individual response they submitted
5. Note: If you are using the movie guide for multiple classes and want to separate responses by class, create multiple copies of the google form with file names such as [Title]MovieGuideClassPeriod[2] and then create assignments for each copy of the Google Form movie guide
