Second activity

45 minutes

In groups, they have to start preparing the final video, by creating a story board, in which we will be monitoring the process. For this part they can use any digital resource the students choose (they can hand-draw it and organize on a powerpoint, use on-line sfotwares, etc).

Here is an webpage that can help when creating a story board that can be use for those students that wants to try digital story boarding:

They have to think about the context, the story they want to tell, the type of characters and also the kind of emotions they will represent. They must keep in mind at all times the rules that have been offered to them, for the adequate elaboration of the final theatre. In this case, focus on the situation, story, characters and the emotions they are going to work on. As teachers, we will be in continuous contact and provide frequent feedback to each group, with the objective of achieving a complete and successful task in both: performance and video creation process.

Once they have thought about the context, story, characters and emotions that each group wants to use, they will start creating their character. To do this, we will use the website "Avatar Maker". We will explain how to use it and leave them the rest of the class to elaborate the characters of their story. Finally, each group will show their characters to the teacher and discuss their story idea, so that the teacher can give them appropriate feedback to ensure that the complexity is appropriate to their level.
