It was so much fun to do the movie this week. I learned a lot from watching some of my classmates movies. I watched Stephanie Orme's group's movie which was a trailer for Where the Wild Things Are. I learned how cool the effects can be on the pictures. I also watched Aleisha Boehm's group do their poem. They had lots of pictures of themselves acting it out. I think that kids would have such a fun time doing that also. I also watched Courtney Butikofer's group do their book trailer for The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. The found some great pictures that tied in so well with the action in the book. I want to teach first or second grade and I think with a little help even they could create a very basic story using Photostory. I'm sure that they would love to hear their voices or see themselves in a movie. They would also have a great time making pictures of using clay to illustrate their favorite stories. I know that I will be using this program a lot to share things with my class and build excitement.
