Inside Out

Great for teaching social emotional learning, I've seen teachers use the characters for zones of regulation.

Pick points that are poignant

I think it would be easy to get lost in a film so I would dedicate enough time to enjoying the movie and enough time to pick out important parts for students! Maybe even stretch it out across subjects.

An underrated disney movie with a great backdrop of a sustainable future with a message about taking care of our resources. Also has queer representation!

Websites are key

I've seen a lot of teachers access their disney plus in schools. I also think that using movies from sites that make films available to teachers is important.

I love movies and love watching them as well, so I actually use movie clips and references to teach topics in math and inquiry. 10/10 would recc teachers, even veteran ones, to try using.

Big ideas

I've used movies/films to make connections on big topics. A simple see-think-wonder on multiple clips about the same topic goes a long way. I showed what good teamwork was through a clip from Finding Nemo and The Wild Robot.

Language

There are times where ive used songs from movies to teach parts of speeches, adverbs, adjectives, etc. Find lyrics of the songs, blank of adjectives or adverbs from it and have students listen carefully to the song and write them down. Ask them what do they notice, can they categorize the words into appearance, clothes, colors, etc.

Math - food related / Starter for lessons

You can also show a clip, like from ratatouille or princess and the frog, of them cooking. Ask students what ingredients they are using and find measurements to make it. At the end, create the dish as a class or make up your own. You can even connect this topic to conversions and fractions/decimals as well

Teachers use their Disney Plus account or look up movies on YouTube. Usually use them around celebrations or the ending of a joyful year. Most of them are either Disney movies, Pixar, DreamWorks or educational TV shows like Magic Schoolbus or news channel or child friendly educational experiment videos.

Aahh too many🤭😭

Technically there are movies that are really educational and its obvious from the start but then there are fictional movies that are also educational and you realise that near the end of it. My personal favourites are: Mulan🔥, Brave, Princess and the Frog, Barbie movie(s), elementals, inside out, Nanny McPhee😭, Sound of Music😭, Mary Poppins😭, Winnie the pooh, big hero 6, Lilo and Stitch, the good dinosaur, prince of Egypt💝, Joseph king of dreams💝, a bugs life, up, bolt, veggie takes, abominable, rise of the guardians, Annie, the wild robot 💝, E.T., Charlotte's web, Stuart little, tangled, wonder, gifted, and there are more but it really depends on the teaching of the teacher to explain these movies to the children in a way they can understand why it is educational. Also it depends on the mindset of the classroom. Is everyone open or are they biased?

Transdisciplinary learning

You can go off on this one😂. You can use one movie to cover several different parts of a unit and work through it until the end. For example, one of my previous TP schools used the story of Willy Wonk and the chocolate factory to teach about chocolate. They read through the book and we're assigned tasks on what there is to know about chocolate, the process, another story related to it that teaches students about morals and the things that happen when you eat chocolate (greed), at the end they were allowed to watch the whole movie. Seeing the movie, they were able to connect better to the Unit of Inquiry topic and apply the knowledge in the right places. I always believe that movies are inspired from something in our daily lives. As a teacher, you can use anything in any way as long as you know where and how to apply it. If you are showing something about feelings, family or friendship.....there are countless of movies to show it in any form. You can connect it back to the real world by asking: okay, how do those unique bonds look in our world? What types of family dynamics do we have? What morals and values do they have to keep them together or to be called a family?
