Learning Outcomes
The learning outcomes for this session address writing expectations, oral communication and media skills by engaging students in the creation of their own claymation films. The film making process, as outlined by the Ministry of Education and the Learning and Numeracy Secretariat (LNS), “improve student learning and increase student motivation and engagement.”
From the LNS, ” Student-created videos are one possibility that affords an opportunity to integrate print, oral, and digital literacies into a compelling curriculum unit.”
Again, from the LNS, “Students who engage in well-planned and coordinated video production projects draw upon and strengthen their print-based writing skills, while simultaneously developing digital literacy skills.”
Finally, “Research has shown that struggling male readers can benefit from the opportunity to create videos in schools.”
