Missing Link Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (PG - 2019) challenges students to analyze characters, their decisions and concepts that may otherwise be viewed and quickly forgotten. Explore how Mr. Link and Lionel change throughout the movie, use geography skills to determine which routes Lionel picks to avoid Mr. Stenk, and discuss whether or not it is Shangri La that is lost or the people that seek it. Share with the class how Mr. Link’s literal understanding of English lends to humorous moments and think critically about the existence of clubs like Piggot-Dunceby’s in society.
