This is one of the most delightful children's movies ever made, based on a classic of children's literature. The movie can serve as a reward or a treat after students have read the book. The movie won the 2006 Critic's Choice Award for Best Family Film of the Year.
The Teachwithmovies.com Learning Guide to "Charlotte's Web" contains a description of how the book came to be written (and the life of the real Wilbur the pig), discussion questions, some simple facts about pigs and spiders, and a handout for teachers to send to parents suggesting that they read the book to or with their child. The handout also contains discussion prompts, games and suggestions for further reading.
TeachWithMovies.com's Movie Lesson Plans and Learning Guides are used by thousands of teachers to motivate students. They provide background and discussion questions that lead to fascinating classes. Parents can use them to supplement what their children learn in school.

To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below a paragraph about spiders from the Learning Guide to Charlotte's Web.
Charlotte's description of the life of a spider is pretty accurate, except that they don't talk or spell. Most spiders live only one season and reproduce by spinning egg sacs. Spiders with webs catch their prey in the web, inject a venom that starts the digestion process and then drink the digested juice within the animal's body. (Spiders don't really drink blood. The prey's body is predigested by the poison the spider injects making the inside of the prey a kind of soup. The spiders drink the soup.) Young spiders disperse by sending out strands of silk, called balloons, and riding the air currents to a new home.
The Learning Guide to Charlotte's Web also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
A subscription to TeachWithMovies.com will give teachers access to 285 Learning Guides from which they can easily create lesson plans. Click here to subscribe and learn about Charlotte's Web.
