Toy Story of Terror! Movie Guide | Halloween | Worksheet | Google (G - 2013)

Toy Story of Terror! Movie Guide | Halloween | Worksheet | Google (G - 2013) challenges students to analyze this short 23 minute animation. Ask students to explore the concepts of character development, narrators, and conflict. Define the genres of horror and tragedy and evaluate which fits best for this short movie. Discuss the theme and the lessons one can learn from it. Finally, discuss Combat Carl’s life motto and how it can help students as they face obstacles in life.

This resource consists of 6 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.

This product .zip file includes:

• A student movie guide, PDF print version (2 pages)
  *An answer key is included with this movie guide, however many answers will vary as students are encouraged to construct their own meaning from the characters’ dialogue and behavior. See the preview for samples.
  *A Google Slides Version of the Movie Guide
  *A generic, editable movie guide permission slip
  *CCSS alignment indicating standards met, PDF (1 page - see also preview image)
  **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
