Do You Want To Be My Friend?

Today we will begin to work on our class movie based on the book Do You Want To Be My Friend? by Eric Carle. Each student will be either the mouse or one of the animals.

  • Read the book in class then decide how the animals might answer the mouse if they could talk.
  • Mice-Practice your line, then we will use the green screen to shoot you saying your part. Ms. Mellman will make mouse ears for us.
  • Animals- Practice your part, then we will use YakitKids to make the animals talk.
  • We will then use the Green Screen app to put it all together.
  • Finally, we will bring it into iMovie to add music and sound effect

William Wegman’s Dogs

Now that you examined the work of photographer William Wegman and his Weimaraner dogs, it’s time to create your own dog portrait in art, using water colors. Using a green screen, the apps Superimpose and SketchbookX, we’ll merge your painting with a photo of you to create an new piece of art on the iPad. We’ll use augmented reality to display your work at the art show.

Explorer Smashup

We will begin our explorer projects using the iPads. Use the Explorer Wiki Resources to help you.
1. Research your explorer and include the following information:

a. Why he explored
b. Who sponsored him
c. Where he traveled
d. How did he treat the Native people
e. What was accomplishments

2. Write the script and the bibliography.

3. Gather public domain images or creative common images for your script and save to the Camera Roll.

We will Use Explain Everything for your bibliography, Drawing Pad to create a green screen, Tellagami for your avatar speaking your script, and Green Screen to put your images and avatar together. See my sample below.

Snow Haikus

Let’s create a snowflake smashup. Today we will use the iPads to create and animate snowflakes swirling and falling using the app Do Ink. Next you will use the video camera on the iPad to film yourself reciting your haiku. Finally, we will combine the two videos into a movie using the app Green Screen.
