Presentation transcript:

Tell us something folksy! Use the Animoto app to create a “silent movie” using music and images to tell your self-created folktale. Follow the directions below to complete the activity. After analyzing the structure of your folktale, “Brer Possum’s Dilemma,” use A Novel Idea app to plan your folktale. Use the Character page for only 2 characters that you create, create 3 scenes in A Novel idea, and name your Folktale on the “Novel” page in the app. After you complete your Novel Idea planning, raise your hand to have this teacher-checked. Now, open Safari, search Google images for 3 pictures for both of your characters. You may save these images in Photos (we will delete them after the project). Open Animoto app. You will create a 6-framed mini folktale using one image per frame and a short bit of dialogue per frame. Follow the directions which guide you to first choose photos, then style, then music. Be sure to include a bit of text in each of the 6 frames. It’s important to remember that you are creating a very brief folktale which has 2 characters and a lesson is learned. KEEP IT SIMPLE! AND FUN! This task uses: Common Core/NG Standard(s): RL.8.2: Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of a text. Analyze how particular lines of dialogue or incidents in a story propels the action, reveal aspects of a character, or provoke a decision. Analyze the extent to which a filmed or live production of a story or drama stays faithful to or departs from the text or script, evaluating choices made by the director or actors. TEACHER NOTES: Teacher’s name/email: Mary Vaughan/mary.Vaughan@cpsb.org School: JI Watson Grade Level/Subject: 8th grade/ ELA Task Card Level: 3 Special Directions/Considerations: Students will need to think simply and may be tempted to get very detailed when using A Novel Idea app. Direct them to the basic info for a very short creation of a folktale of their own. Activity Evaluation: Students will be assessed using a video creation Rubric. Prerequisites for students: Reading “Brer Possum’s Dilemma,” completion of Task Card 1 and 2. Text being used: Holt Literature text.
