About This Lesson
Ever wonder what makes you, YOU? In Pixar Animation Studio’s all-new feature film Soul, Joe, a middle school band teacher, explores the answer to this question. Encourage your students to think about this question and celebrate their individuality.
The engaging activities inspired by the film introduce students to jazz and some legendary musicians who inspire Joe, and encourage kids to reflect on the movie’s central theme of self-discovery.
