Roll of
Thunder,
Hear My Cry
By: Mildred D. Taylor
Mrs. Adamson's 4/5 class at Mueller Elementary
School studied the book, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. They
split into six groups; each group taking two chapters of the book.
Their goal was to re-tell the story in clay animation. After a
discussion about stop motion animation and how many frames it would take
to create one second of video (12 frames) and how many pictures that would
add up to if they wanted thirty second videos (at least 360) the class
began brainstorming.
Each group had to create:
- Set
- Characters
- Storyboard
- Narration
- Making of Report
