Watch Along to go with Dr. Seuss's The Lorax

This activity is a watch-along to go with the movie The Lorax. This product is focused on the Once-Ler and Ted's point of view in the story and their attitudes towards the Lorax and trees. Students will take doodle notes of what they see/hear. Then they will talk about what point of view the Once-Ler tell his story in and give details on how they know this along with Ted recounting the story to his grandma and how they know what point of view that would be in. They will also then draw and describe how the Once-Ler's attitude towards the Lorax and trees changes from the beginning to the end of the story.

Doodle Notes: This is a great way to allow students to visualize what they are watching/reading. Instead of writing what they see, students "doodle" what they are seeing/hearing. This is also a great accommodation for students who might need support with writing.

I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.
