Description
ALL ABOARD! Your students will design and create a winter night train scene to animate and create a digital stop motion animation using Google Slides. This animation project can also be used as a companion to the read aloud The Polar Express.
Students can work independently or in pairs to create an animation of their choosing. Students can then view their animation to see their work.
Watch the video preview above to see a sample animation.
Please note: You can use the elements for students to instead create a winter night train scene (still image without animation). This option may suit your students better if they struggle with technology or you are short on time. You can have them write a short story about what is happening in the scene.
What You'll Get
- Instruction Pages for Students You do not need to know how to do digital stop motion animation before trying this. All instructions are included, as well as helpful tips!
- Background Scene Pages, Characters, Objects, and Animated Elements Students can used the components provided, create their own, or do an image search to create just the right scene. Everything you need is included for the animation, though students are welcome to design their own elements or find objects online to use.
