Zootopia Movie Guide & Stereotypes Discussion

Created by

Jessica Fletcher Fierro

Zootopia is not only a great movie, but also has important ideas about stereotyping and how we treat each other in a diverse society. Thus, it's a perfect film to show students as a springboard to deeper content and thinking. So, I created this product to use in the middle school classroom, based on the film. This product is broken up into three parts: Part 1-Movie guide: students answer questions as they watch the movie, about the plot of the film. Part 2-Critical thinking: Students answer que

Spanish Reader's Theater--Caperucita Roja (Little Red Riding Hood)

Created by

Senora Dominguez

Reader's Theater is a great tool for building fluency in reading. As a bilingual educator I have found that Spanish reader's theater is a valuable tool to get Spanish language learners to practice their oral development. Although I have used these scripts in my First grade classroom, they would also work well for secondary Spanish classes. Little Red Riding Hood is easy to follow with its repetitive phrases and familiar storyline. This reader's theater is an excellent way for students who are
