TRON: Ares Movie Guide Questions & Worksheet (2025)

TRON: Ares Movie Guide Questions & Worksheet helps Grades 7 to 12 students think about identity, responsibility, choices, and the consequences of powerful technology. The resource moves beyond simple plot recall into meaningful discussion, written reflection, and evidence-based thinking.

This packet gives you flexible ways to teach a full-length film without losing instructional time: use the pre- and post-movie discussion prompts to build purpose before viewing, pause at key time stamps for guided writing and conversation, or assign the written guide after the film for review and deeper analysis.

Engaging questions include scene-based, time-stamped prompts, reflection questions, and a multiple-choice quiz for easy differentiation. It works well for whole-class viewing, homework, sub plans, independent practice, or guided small-group support.
