A Bug's Life Movie Guide + Activities - Answer Key Inc. (Color + Black & White)

This 8 page movie guide with handouts accompanies the film "A Bug's Life (1998)".

★★ Check out the full preview! ★★

This guide may also work well as a sub plan for your substitute teacher.

The students will get into teams of three and will have explained to them that they’re going to watch an animation called A Bug’s life, which will have a lot of different insects in.

PART 1

• While watching the movie the team members need to write down all the insects they see in their books and find the correct insect for the circus performers. At the end of the movie, they then transfer into the worksheet together.

• To help with the questions later they also need to make sure they know the 16 words in the list. If they don’t, then they circle it and look for the word in the dictionary. The teacher then goes through all the words together as a class.

• In the next section the team members draw a small insect in each box.

PART 2

• The team members then complete the 23 comprehension questions working together. These are a combination of multiple choice and full sentence answers.

PART 3

• The team first put some character names back in order then find them in the word search. Followed by drawing and coloring the picture. Each team member can draw only one character and use the 3 colors mentioned, so they take it in turns drawing and coloring appropriately.

This movie is about an ant named Flik who accidentally loses the colony's food storage and goes looking for helpers to save them from greedy grasshoppers. He recruits a group of bugs that turn out to be inept circus performers.

How can movies help students learn English?

Learning from movies is motivating and enjoyable

- Sometimes students need a change in style, and movies are generally an integral

part of a student's life.

Movies provides authentic and varied language

- It's always a good idea to introduce students examples of English in real

situations. This includes accents different to your own.

Movies gives a visual context

- This gives the student the ability to interpret the language in full visual context.

To see such visual supports as facial expressions and gestures simultaneously.

Variety and flexibility

- Movies can also act as a springboard for follow-up tasks such as discussions,

debates on social issues, role plays, reconstructing a dialogue or summarising.
