7/3 Sample Lesson in Stop Motion

Stop Motion Animation Exploration - 5th grade

Materials:

- iPads
- iStop Motion apps downloaded onto iPad
- Stands for iPads
- Paper for bases for action
- Paper pieces

Rug Chat: Using stop motion animation, we can make it look like objects can move on their own across a surface. T does very brief demo of how to use iStopMotion using a sample found material. T should take no more than 3 photographs and play back. Just to quickly introduce children to the app. T should explain "ghost image" and moving object as well as leaving the iPad still.

Motivation: How might you make papers look like they are moving across the surface?

Making: Children will work in pairs. Can take turns moving papers and snapping photos. T provides guidance through questioning as needed.

Critique:

T will airplay outcomes from groups on smartboard.
T will ask, "What do you notice?"
Children will guide this discussion with teacher prompting.
Hopeful to discuss motion, image capturing, use of materials, consistency

The next session, would be interested in a more personal motivation once they've gotten the basics down. Something like, "How might you show how you get to school?" or "What do you like to do with someone else outside?" using cut paper. Of course, this unit would need to follow collage in order to take advantage of proficiency gained in collage work.
