Dear Fellow Teachers, I’m teachertravis and I’ve created a collection of educational movie guides so that teachers can find reliable, high-quality resources. I use my 10 years of experience in the classroom to craft questions that are thought provoking and valuable for young minds. I hope that you’ll find these movie guides to be excellent supplemental resources. Don’t show another movie to your class without one, you'll see what a difference they make : )

This Inside Out 2 (PG - 2024) Movie Guide challenges students to:
Explore complex emotions and decision-making processes as Riley becomes a teenager.
Discuss how Riley’s interactions with her emotions lead to personal growth and changes in her belief system.
Analyze how each emotion contributes to her decisions, such as allowing her friend Grace to score the final goal.
Identify behaviors triggered by Riley’s new emotions like envy, anxiety, embarrassment, and ennui.
Encourage students to consider how internal conflicts shape a person’s identity and the importance of self-awareness and emotional regulation.
Ask students to reflect on their connection with Riley’s new belief system created once Joy and Anxiety stop trying to control her.
Debate the statement: “Emotions, on their own, are not good or bad; it’s how we process them and keep them balanced that is important.”

Use the screen sharing tool on your group call software to play the movie
