5th Grade Stop Motion History Videos

5th Grade Stop Motion History Videos

5th graders retold the stories of early European explorers using stop motion video technology. Students worked creatively and collaboratively in groups to share their interpretation of the most important historical events surrounding their explorer. First, they learned how to sift through information and determine the most important facts for their scenes and narration. They made characters, sets, and props and learned how to film and move the pieces oh…so…slowly in order to make their video come together smoothly. Finally, students shared their videos with the class. What a fun way to learn and share information!
