There is no doubt teaching and learning are team efforts, especially as third graders embark on their next technology project in the lab. Working in teams of four, students will be making movies, featuring clay animation, about famous explorers. This project ties in to their social studies curriculum and will be a main focus for the rest of the school year.
After researching about the early life, travels, reasons for exploration, and other interesting facts of their explorer, students brainstormed movie ideas. Once each team agreed on their idea, they learned how to create a storyboard to plan their movie. The student teams will begin writing their scripts as well as assembling the props and media needed before filming these next two weeks. Ms. Diaz Leroy will be teaching the students how to use GarageBand to create their own music score while Mrs. Rowe will be working with students on creating the sets and clay figurines for the animation sequence. Students will return to the lab to shoot footage and assemble their final products using iMovie.
I could never complete a project of this scope on my own, and thank all of the teachers in advance for their help and support.
