Fred's Stop Motion Movie

Fourth graders had an opportunity to help our gummy friend, Fred again. Only this time, they invented the "problem". Students were to write stories with a clear plot and no dialogue. The had to develop characters, decide on materials, and were involved in set-design. Then they produced Stop Motion videos where a problem Fred has is solved. We then "App-Smashed" the videos by pulling the product from one app into another app in order to enhance it with titles and background music. Click HERE to check out these creative short stories.
