ESL Movie Guide Worksheets on "Zootopia"

The Zootopia guide structures film study from factual setup to character observation and longer composition. Learners identify the director, genre, actors, and release year before recording six viewing details. Separate boxes organize notes for Judy, Bonnie, Nick, Stu, Bellwether, Yax, and other named characters. A final page of writing lines gives those observations room to become a connected post-viewing response.
