General Tips for Using This Resource:

1. This resource can either be projected for all students, or the Google Slides file can be shared with each student and they can write directly on each slide their response for the day.
2. Remind students to have their notebooks or tablets ready. Play the Pixar Short. Encourage students to focus entirely on the video. No talking or distractions.
3. Give students 5 minutes to answer the journal prompt question. This time should be continuous writing time. Focus on writing and flow, not necessarily perfect grammar, content, etc.
4. Teachers can decide how often to replay the Pixar Short depending on their schedule, ranging from everyday to once per week.
