The Lorax Movie Discussion Activity
By A Teachers Sidekick
This is a discussion activity to go along with the Lorax movie. There are 6 prompts for students to discuss. Either in a whole group or split into groups, the students will discuss the prompts. This is a great activity to go along with after watching, good practice with supporting their claims and opinions with facts, and good practice for their discussion skills!
Disccusion Prompts
There are 6 different different prompts for the students to discuss. Cut out each prompt so the groups can have the prompt they need to focus on. I would recommend either splitting them into groups and passing the prompts out, or taping the prompts to the wall and have the groups move to each spot in the room for the prompt.
The prompts will have the students discussing characters, real world applications, greed, and theme!

The Lorax Movie Watch Along - Science: Photosynthesis, Plants, and Connection
By A Teachers Sidekick
This is an activity to do during or after watching the Lorax! This is to go along with a science lesson about the process of photosynthesis, the parts of a plant, and the connection the movie has to photosynthesis.
Students will be putting together and labeling the process of photosynthesis and the parts of a plant. Then they will also describe how The Lorax Movie connects to the process of photosynthesis.
You can pace these activities in multiple ways but I would recommend having the students do the photosynthesis and parts of a plant activity before watching the movie. Then after they have watched the movie, have them complete the connect activity. But you can do it in many different ways.
This activity takes very little prep. Each student will need a copy of each sheet (they are labeled) and scissors, glue sticks/tape, colored pencils, and normal pencils. You could even have students work in groups!
This would be a great product to introduce and/or review photosynthesis and the parts of a plant. You could even use it as an assessment!
