Had some new pens I wanted to try out and thought this was a nifty Emerson quote that deserved some art. Stop motion offers kids a lot of options for culminating projects in the Language Arts and Social Studies curriculum. A teacher in TCS that I'm observing with has her students making claymation versions of scenes from the Alchemist; the kids are loving it. They then have to write up the significance of the scene and why they made some of the choices they did in bringing it to life. I also think videos like these could be good discussion starters or journal prompts: What does the quote mean to you? Do the images support that meaning, why or why not? What about the music? If you were to illustrate this quote how would you do it differently? Would you make an actual video or stay with stop motion? Does your choice of media make a difference? Why?
In short, Michelle has a lot of fun with stop motion.
