Coco The Movie

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a thematic resource designed to intertwine the educational aspects of the Day of the Dead holiday with the popular animated movie “Coco.” The worksheet is structured with a series of questions aimed at assessing the student’s comprehension of the film and its connection to the cultural holiday it portrays. At the top, there’s a playful graphic of a skull wearing a sombrero, which is emblematic of the Day of the Dead festivities, and a brightly colored guitar, which is a significant element from the movie.

The first question prompts students to identify the holiday during which “Coco” takes place, thereby establishing the setting of the movie. The second question seeks to elicit the student’s understanding of the purpose behind the Day of the Dead. Moving on, the third question encourages students to recall and list the various ways the characters in the movie participate in the holiday’s celebrations, such as making ofrendas or playing music. The final question focuses on a key plot point in “Coco,” where the character Hector asks Miguel to carry an important object back to the land of the living, challenging students to consider the motivations behind the characters’ actions. This worksheet not only serves as a tool for teaching about cultural traditions but also reinforces narrative comprehension and recall.
