Beauty and the Beast Movie Guide | Worksheet | Questions (G - 1991)

The Beauty and the Beast Movie Guide | Worksheet | Questions (G - 1991) engages students in analyzing character development, musical storytelling, and moral lessons. Explore the villagers’ opinions of Belle and Gaston in the opening song, and contrast their perceptions with Belle’s thoughts. Reflect on the reasons why Belle may never see the Beast as anything more than a monster and discuss whether the Beast can be blamed based on his actions. Investigate the best way to change people’s opinions of you and its relevance to real-life situations. Analyze the impact of the Enchantress’s spell on the Beast’s life and the lessons he learns from his transformation. Finally, discuss how the lessons from the Beast’s story can help students become better individuals in their own lives.

This resource consists of 11 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.

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

**Distance Learning Tips:

• Distribute the Google Slides version to each student
• Use the screen sharing tool on your group call software to play the movie
• Pause the movie at each question to give students time to write/discuss
