After creating a class claymation earlier in April and May the students wanted to create their own. We decided that small groups of 4 - 5 students would work best. They first wrote their Pourquoi stories in French and spent a lot of time editing and reworking the story to fit their claymation. Once they completed their story they worked on their characters and background for their claymation. This was followed by the students taking multiple pictures with the camera and then loading them into Windows Movie Maker. Then the students recorded their story using Audacity and added sound effects. They then began editing, adding a title and credits as well as mixing in their audio recording.
This process is very difficult for most adults but the students did an amazing job. There were struggles with some groups having to restart because of lost data however they never gave up and persevered. I'm extremely proud of them.
