What educators are saying
I did this with 3rd graders instead of the reading curriculum's lessons on theme. My students LOVED watching the videos and it was so easy to go through theme. I did have to alter the lessons since they are younger but it worked well!
I used to use the Disney shorts to teach plot structure. These slides are really professional and quick and easy to use.

Description
Pixar SHORT FILMS are the perfect way to teach literary elements and SEL! This digital, interactive workshop studies the short film, Joy and Heron and guides students through an analysis of the 6 basic literary elements to prepare them for the culminating narrative writing assignment. Students watch the film directly from their slides and work through all of the fun activities.
Film Synopsis: A cute puppy, Joy, scuffles with an ornery Heron when the bird tries to steal her owner's fishing worms.
