7 Yards: The Chris Norton Story Documentary Guide (Sports Medicine) (Rehab)
What educators are saying
Description
"7 YARDS is a feature-length documentary that explores the resilience and perspective of Chris Norton. In October 2010 at age 18, Chris suffered a debilitating spinal cord injury during a college football game. Doctors gave him just a 3 percent chance to ever move again. But he defied that diagnosis." It is rated PG and has a 1 hour and 33 minute run time. It is currently on Netflix. It is VERY clean and classroom friendly - there are absolutely no worrisome parts of this documentary.
What do you get? You get a student worksheet for them to complete while watching the 7 Yards Documentary. There are 12 guided questions (that go in order with the movie), and 3 discussion questions for students to answer when the movie is over. I have included an answer key for the 12 guided questions. The discussion questions are more opinion based.
**Watching the movie and learning from it is more important than filling out blanks on a worksheet. The questions I have written are all geared toward healthcare/sports medicine.
How can you use this? You can use this as an emergency substitute lesson! I show this toward the end of our Rehabilitation Exercises unit. I highly recommend discussing the movie and the discussion questions with your students afterwards.
