Literary Analysis Using Short Films Bundle | Secondary ELA

Literary Analysis can be a scary process. I like to "trick" my students into analyzing pieces by using short films to introduce, practice, or review the process. I've created 2 products that cover tons of ELA skills. Your students will be having so much fun that they won't realize they are learning. :) 

When you purchase this product you'll receive:

1. Literary Analysis Using Pixar Short Films
I love to use these short films as a way to review literary elements with my students OR a way to introduce the concept of analysis. Sometimes, my students find it easier and less “scary” to analyze a film rather than a piece of literature. 

Each short film comes with a sheet of questions for students to review topics such as:

• Symbolism

• Theme

• Mood

• Characterization

• Imagery

• And so much more! 

These questions will push students to think outside of the box and actually analyze/apply what they’ve learned!

I’ve included an answer key, but please know that these assignments are analysis-based. Therefore, answers will always vary. Subjective responses are a part of the beauty of an analysis. 

You’ll need access to the following films. I’ve included multiple links to each short film just in case a link becomes “broken”.

Lifted

Partly Cloudy
