Summary by Pixar:
Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it’s no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.
After watching sections from the movie, students will engage in a short discussion over the importance of each emotion and discuss what would occur if they were not present in Riley’s brain. After the discussion, students will write a an opinion piece on the movie that includes information from the film that supports their thoughts.
