This is a lesson in which 5 short clips from the Disney Pixar movie, WALL-E are viewed to determine what the main message or "Life Lesson" is that is being portrayed through little or no dialog.  All lesson materials can be found here.

​

I have written this lesson with the intent of using it with upper middle school or high school students.  Feel free to modify the format to be used with different age groups.  Included are ways to extend or enrich your students' learning and experimenting with nonverbal communication.

​

I have also included other ways to use the movie WALL-E from a variety of sources.  These can be found on my "Other WALL-E Resources" Page.

​

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In my experience, there are many messages or life lessons that overlap in WALL-E.  In addition, there are more life lessons demonstrated by these clips that I have not listed.  If you or your students have the evidence to support their thinking, accept all possible answers.
