Little Women Program Resources

Hello —

I am an educational consultant for Sony Pictures, and we have created a free Little Women Toolkit for teachers and librarians with all the materials they need to plan a Little Women event in advance of the upcoming Little Women’s movie release on December 25th. We also have free bookmarks and mini posters.

FREE LITTLE WOMEN EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS AND BOOKMARKS!

The movie event of the year for book lovers will be LITTLE WOMEN which opens at movie theaters on December 25, 2019! Directed by Greta Gerwig, LITTLE WOMEN stars Saoirse Ronan as Jo, Emma Watson as Meg, Laura Dern as Marmee, Timothee Chalamet as Laurie and Meryl Streep as Aunt March.

Librarians and teachers, now is the time to plan a Little Women program for your library or classroom.  Introduce a new generation to the beloved classic that resonates today just as much as ever. Start planning your Little Women programs for this fall with the Little Women Toolkit.  Here is the link to all the materials on Dropbox — https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l86rcbv8i6eptzc/AADQDcXJaB_EkWR1btjddw5Na?dl=0<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l86rcbv8i6eptzc/AADQDcXJaB_EkWR1btjddw5Na?dl=0__;!eeWmBe9sc1cuNw!BjyY4w3tEK5b-KDSKi1UyzBlNkwUSihw-DIXE4d2iQK1DY04auWyuWASfFxpS_-AZNJgtHvw$>

Please email Rachel Breinin at RGBreinin@gmail.com if you would like free bookmarks (indicate whether you would like 25 or 50 bookmarks) and mini posters (5 per person). When they are ready, she will send them to you. Also, provide your full mailing address.

The Little Women Toolkit features a link to three lesson plans developed by the Great Books Foundation, discussion questions for book groups and the classroom, “Are You Meg, Jo, Beth or Amy?” Quiz, links to the LITTLE WOMEN movie images that you can use to create displays at your library or decorate bulletin boards, tea party recipes from Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House and The Little Women Cookbook, and vintage games and arts-and-crafts activities from the late 1800s!
