Description

Teach CCSS with How Far I'll Go from Moana! Use this short 3 minute song to teach a ton of CCSS standards. Compare how Moana sees her future and how her people see their future. Discuss the meaning of the words horizon, role and roll. Explore the concept of motivation and also students are as adventurous as Moana. Finally, identify visuals in the music video to help improve understanding of the lyrics.

This song by Auli'i Cravalho, along with the lyrics on screen, can be found on YouTube here.

(Note: I do not own this link, if it changes, search 'How Far I'll Go Moana lyrics' and another video should be available.)

The full movie, Moana, is available for streaming on Disney + here. and the song can be found from the 16:15 minute mark.

CCSS Note: I’ve taken the liberty of aligning certain reading standards with the act of consuming content via the movie instead. Although students aren’t reading they are asked to perform the same cognitive functions on the content that they consumed from the movie.

General Tips for Using the Print version of this Movie Guide:

Print one, double-sided movie guide for each student
Preview the next question on the movie guide as you complete each one, this can help students pay attention to important upcoming events.
Pause at the times designated on the movie guide, encourage students to debate, discuss and talk about their ideas before writing their answers.
Discourage students from simply copying answers.
Randomly choose a student to share their answer and defend it if necessary.
If time allows, feel free to rewind and show important parts of the movie again for additional analysis.
After completing the short answers, allow 5-10 minutes for each essay question at the end of the film.
On average, this movie guide will require about 45-60 minutes in addition to the length of the movie.
