Claymation storyboard

https://www.scoilnet.ie/uploads/resources/14292/13930.docx Added:8 Jul 2015 Contributor: Emma Louise Mc Namee Resource type: Project

This is a storyboard worksheet that I created to use when planning a Claymation project individually or in small groups. It contains six boxes which the child(ren) can draw pictures in to plan the sequence of their story. There are a few lines under each box which the child(ren) can use to describe what is happening at that stage of the story or to plan dialogue that they might record as part of the project. There is space at the top of the worksheet for the child(ren) to record their name(s) and a project title.

Theme Poems

http://www.readwritethink.org/class...interactives/theme-poems-30044.html Added:7 Jul 2015 Contributor: Aish Resource type: Lesson Plan, Reference

In this online tool, primary students can write poems based on shapes from five different categories: Nature, School, Sports, Celebrations, and Shapes. Within these categories, 32 different shapes are included.
By selecting a shape, students are learning how to focus their writing on a particular topic or theme. In addition, as part of the online tool, students are prompted to brainstorm, write, and revise their poems, thus reinforcing elements of the writing process. Students can save their draft poems to revise later. See the 5-minute video tutorial Saving Work With the Student Interactives for more information on have to save, e-mail, and open a file in any of the ReadWriteThink Student Interactives. The finished theme poems can also be printed and colored to display in the classroom or at home.
