What's Going on the in the Classroom: Stop Motion Animation

As the school year winds down (Can it really be over?! It went so fast!) We're doing some fun projects that I really like and are easy for the students. They are so stressed out with AP testing, exams and end of the year papers that I like to keep things light. One of the projects we do is a group project where students work together to create a stop motion animation film. Students create their own props, characters and backgrounds and then take all the photographs. We just finished taking the pictures and this coming week we will be in the lab working hard to put it all together. Students have had a lot of fun with this and I can't wait to see their final results. I will try to post them here as well!
