Third graders have been working in small groups to create stop motion animations. Students were asked to create a metamorphosis, or change from one object or creature into another. First students created a storyboard that represented their change. Next they molded their characters out of non-drying clay. Students also created backdrop for their characters to have a setting. Once their sets and characters were ready, student used the iPad app, stop motion to create their movies. Some groups were even able to add a title and sound effects.
