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!
I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.
