Zootopia Movie Guide (PG – 2016)

This Zootopia Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (PG – 2016) is a must have if you are showing this movie in class. The movie guide consists of a 4 page PDF document with 12 high-level short answer and essay questions. An answer key is included, however, answers will vary considerably as many questions are open-ended and encourage students to analyze the film by constructing their own meaning from the characters’ dialogue and behavior.

This product .zip file includes:

• A student movie guide, PDF digital fillable form version (4 pages)
• A student movie guide, PDF print version (4 pages)
• A Google Forms & Slides Version of the Movie Guide
• An answer key (4 pages) is included, however, some answers will vary as students are encouraged to construct their own meaning throughout the film and many questions are open-ended.
• 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 aren’t reading they are asked to perform the same cognitive functions on the content that they consumed from the movie.

Here are my tips for using this resource with students in your classroom:

1. Print one, double-sided Zootopia Movie Guide (PG – 2016) for each student
2. Preview each question on the movie guide as you come to it before resuming the movie
3. Pause at the times designated on the movie guide and help students if necessary
   • Discussion here is great, encourage and allow students to share their ideas and thoughts for any question
   • Discourage students from simply copying answers
   • If needed, and if time allows, feel free to rewind and show important parts of the movie for additional analysis
4. After completing the short answers on the movie guide, allow 5-10 minutes for each essay question at the end
5. On average, completing this movie guide will require about 30-45 minutes in addition to the length of the movie
