Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Movie Guide | Relationships (PG - 2009) challenges students to explore puns, foreshadowing, metaphors and plot twists. Discuss relationships, the importance of clear communication and give students a chance to act as mediator between Flint and his dad. Explore how people might respond to Flint’s invention if it arrived in your community and what it would mean for diet and self-control. Finally, identify lessons students can learn from the evolution of characters and their relationships.

This resource is meant to supplement the viewing of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, see the IMDb listing.

This resource consists of 10 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 (4 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
