Movies Students Can Make to Demonstrate Comprehension

GoAnimate.com: Sample by craftyone


Like it? Create your own at GoAnimate.com. It's free and fun!


Wouldn't it be so cool if students could have movie characters summarize a text?  Or, what if they could analyze characters by creating a short film with words that a character would likely say?  Best of all, what if students could analyze and recreate what they have learned in social studies by creating a short cartoon?

They can do this!  Best of all, they can do this for free!  (Okay, don't laugh.  I created the short movie at the top of the screen). I love, love, love this website.   A student can choose from backgrounds and characters then add their own text.

  2. It's cute but it's not free. One year for one teacher, no students is $59.00.
