Inside Out - Film Guide - PIXAR
This is a 27 questions film guide to get students critically thinking about the more complex parts of the brain and issues people go through that the film Inside Out captures so well. The depth of these questions requires the teachers to pause the video and discuss with the class. Most likely this will be appropriate for middle to high school level. I made the guide for my seniors and had some great conversations. Would be great in a psychology class as well.
