Resources include:
1. YouTube Videos: Pixar Animated Shorts to use with the students. The animated shorts tell a story focusing on the elements of plot (characters, setting, conflict, rising actions, climax, falling actions, and resolution).
2. Plot Diagram
Students will watch a Pixar Short video and complete the attached plot diagram that focuses on characters, setting, conflict, rising actions, climax, falling actions, and resolution. Students will demonstrate their understanding of the plot in the video by completing the attached plot diagram.
Students will summarize the Pixar Short video story, describing how the plot unfolds, and how the characters respond to challenges/problems using visual evidence.
