Animoto-ing Real Issues
I've found that many of the Animotos I've viewed were light and "fluffy". Many include cartoon characters, wording, or songs. I've decided to take a different route and create a statement piece on the power of peer pressure; our next sixth grade unit. One animoto that has given me many ideas is this Civil Rights animoto. Check it out! Another example is below!!

I agree that I have seen a lot of Animotos that are either very basic or sort of "fluffy". I'm interested to see your Animoto on peer pressure. Is this something you'll use with your Special Education students?
ReplyDeleteJamee, This video came out great! The song choice was perfect. Was that a choice that the website offered? It looks like you put a lot of thought into this. I wish I was teaching Civil Rights just so I could show it!
ReplyDeleteJamee,
ReplyDeleteI agree that Animoto can be a great tool to teach deeper issues. The power of video and music can leave a great and lasting impression on anyone. Very cool video!
The song works perfectly for conveying the meaning. It looks as though students might have made this Animoto. I can't tell if it was done for a school project. It would be an excellent one to show in a secondary classroom. Students will need background on the figures pictured and some of the photos displaying the violence of the period so students understand the situation in context.
