8/3 Lesson plan idea

The lesson plan idea is to use stopmotion as a storytelling tool in the elementary school.

Teachers would ask students to use a storyboard and set up figures and scenes which are needed for their stories. Students need to develop stories based on them. Instead of telling or writing the story in words, students would need to have the rough idea of the story in mind and place figures in front of the camera to let them act out the story, it is like an animation process, but much simpler. Students can also use a few text for interpretation,   


This kind of project can be done in pairs or in groups, and it is a great opportunity for students to practice teamwork. Since students would have different roles, such as director, camera guy, person to move the figures etc. Everybody have to contribute their part at the same time in order to make the story happen.
