Rules of the Game: Teacher Material
Stop-Motion Rules: Post-Production
Show students the video in the student chapter Stop-Motion Animation: Post-Production.
The video will pause four times with a question on the screen. Ask students the questions to reinforce their learning:
What button do we press to record sound?
The Microphone button.
How do we add frames when someone is talking?
Tap on the first frame and then tap Pause.
What button do we press to add sound effects?
The Plus button.
What do we put in the Credits?
The names of the people who made the video.
Note: This video specifically demonstrates features of the Stop Motion Studio app. If you are using a different app, you may need to demonstrate how those features work yourself.
When the class has watched the video and answered the questions, have them add a title, audio (voice, sound effects, and/or music) and credits.
Once each team has:
- Added a title,
- Added credits,
- Added voice, sound effects, and/or a music track,
- Reviewed the animation and are happy with it…
When students show their videos, have them explain how their story shows the importance of the rule: how rules keep people safe, make sure that people can do what they are trying to do and make sure that everyone has fun
If you wish, you can have them use the Reflection Recorder.
With younger students you may want to have the class choose what they think is the most important rule and make the video as a whole-class project.
If time is short, you may choose to have students draw a poster illustrating one of the rules instead.
