The Little Mermaid Movie Guide is a perfect substitute teacher, no-prep lesson plan. Share this classic film that many of us grew up watching and give your students a peek into what animated movies used to look like. Analyze Ariel’s character traits and how they shape her journey. Discuss King Triton’s evolving attitude towards humans and the lesson we can learn from his transformation. Explore word usage and meaning in songs like “Under the Sea” and the chef’s song. Reflect on the themes of acceptance and learn life lessons from the movie about stereotypes (King Triton writing off all humans) and being open-minded.

This resource is meant to supplement the viewing of The Little Mermaid, see the IMDb listing here.

Check the thumbnails for high resolution sample questions to see if this movie guide is suitable for your students. This resource consists of 11 high-level, short answer reflection and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.

This product .zip file includes:

A student movie guide, PDF print version (4 pages)
An answer key (4 pages) is included, however, some answers will vary as students are encouraged to construct their own meaning throughout the film and many questions are open-ended.
A Google Slides Version of the Movie Guide (A PDF with a link to make a copy of the guide to your Google Drive)
CCSS alignment indicating standards met, PDF (1 page – see also preview image)
- CCSS Note: I’ve taken the liberty of aligning certain reading standards with the act of consuming content via the movie instead. Although students aren’t reading they are asked to perform the same cognitive functions on the content that they consumed from the movie.

Here are my tips for using The Little Mermaid Movie Guide (G – 1989) in your classroom:

Print one, double-sided movie guide for each student
Preview each question on the movie guide as you come to it before resuming the movie
Pause at the times designated on the movie guide and help students if necessary
- Discussion here is great, encourage and allow students to share their ideas and thoughts for any question
- Discourage students from simply copying answers
- If needed, and if time allows, feel free to rewind and show important parts of the movie for additional analysis
After completing the short answers on the movie guide, allow 5-10 minutes for each essay question at the end
On average, completing this movie guide will require about 30-45 minutes in addition to the length of the movie
