Stop Motion is a series of pictures played back as a movie. Seemingly making inanimate objects come to life! An assignment using Stop Motion Studio which you can download on an ipad, grabs your students' attention & motivates self-learning! Imagine all eyes looking at you, all ears eagerly listening to every word...as you present your lesson! SMS is something the student does on their own, can be set up as a station, & requires only a rubric & any needed manipulatives. The student end-product can be used as a final presentation or as quick check points along the way.
Students actually want to learn so they can make a successful Stop Motion presentation.
Students use manipulatives to: Reading: Make, or use pre-made characters and manipulate them to summarize a story. Vocabulary: Words can be made to reinforce spelling & animated to show meaning. Math: Problems just seem to solve themselves! You will see their problem solving strategy step by step! Science: Showcase erosion over time sped up. Connection: Use characters to set up scenarios to learn how to speak with each other.
These are just a few examples & we will brainstorm & explore more of your specific needs while we're together!
