Corpse Bride Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Formats (PG - 2005)

This Corpse Bride Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Formats (PG - 2005) challenges students to analyze this whimsical Tim Burton masterpiece. Ask students to put themselves in the shoes of Victor, Victoria and Emily and think critically about their relationships and decisions. Compare and contrast how the society in the movie views dating and marriage, with how modern society does. Write persuasive essays to defend Emily as the protagonist of the film, and evaluate Lord Barkis as the dog, in Aesop’s fable, The Dog in the Manger.

This resource consists of 10 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 aren’t reading they are asked to perform the same cognitive functions on the content that they consumed from the movie.

**Distance Learning Tips:

• Distribute the digital PDF file or the google forms 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
