让学生自己制作卡通片——教学步骤Students Making Their Cartoons

已更新：2019年9月10日

当我告诉学生他们要自己制作卡通片时，每个孩子眼睛都挣得又圆又大，一副不可置信的表情，兴奋的问怎么样可以办到。接下来几天，孩子一来到学校第一件事便是聚在一起继续完成他们的卡通片制作。一个卡通片从构思、讨论、写草稿到制作，您想想他们在这过程中，他们的语言能力不知不觉提升了多少！

When I told students we were going to make cartoons, their eyes widened with excitement, eagerly asking me how that could be done. In the following days, the first thing students wanted to do upon arriving at school was working on making their own cartoons. Think about how much their language skills had improved from making cartoons when they had to brainstorm the story, doing research on the topic, writing the drafts, making the cartoon and recording it!

创意的展现有很多不同方式，例如画海报、四格漫画、录音说故事、做成电子书。今天我们来看看如何让学生把自己的创意做成卡通片互相展示。

There are different ways students can show their creativity, ways such as making posters, making comics, storying-telling, voice recording, and making ebooks. Today, we can have a look at one more option—— making cartoons.

先来看学生作品吧！这是几个孩子以保护海豹为主题制作的卡通片。

Let's start with watching this student self-made cartoon about raising awareness for protecting seals.

所使用的App是 “Toontastic”。在安卓及Apple iOS都可以下载。

The app used here is "Toontastic". It's downloadable both on Android and iOS.

功能：选择场景、选择人物角色、自己绘制场景或人物角色、录音、移动人物

最棒的是，它自带的”故事模式“已经包含了”故事线“，让孩子们有意识的建立故事架构。

It offers the function of selecting settings, adding characters, drawing your own, voice recording, and motions. The greatest thing about this app is that there's suggested story line for the students to follow.

工具谁都找得到，可是课堂上如何操作才能有效提升学生的语言能力呢？这里以“項目式學習”为例，为您提供协作式的教学步骤，如下：

It's easy to find a tool; however, a tool doesn't mean anything if the lesson is not well-structured. I am sharing with you the steps you can follow for a collaborative classroom for students to realise their creativity：

＊1. 介绍Toontastic的功能给学生 Introducing Toontastic to students

让孩子先有心理预设，大概了解成品样貌和可使用的工具。学生的数码学习能力超快，只要您说几个大概的要点，他们马上青出于蓝更胜于蓝。

This is for mentally preparing students for what they can expect and what tools they can use. Our students today grow up with electronic devices; when it comes to digital technology, they lean faster and better than we think.

＊2. 跟学生讨论故事线Discuss the story line with the students

这里可以直接运用toontastic的两种故事线——

简化版：起因，发展，结局

详细版：背景，冲突，挑战，高潮，结局

如果您有自己的版本，也都可以在App上使用＋号自由删除或增加环节

When making a story on Toontastec, you can choose from the following two modes:

Short Story: Beginning, Middle, and End

Classic Story: Setup, Conflict, Challenge, Climax, and Resolution

Students can always add or delete any scene according to their own story line.

＊3. 学生分小组讨论故事内容Collaborative story/script-writing

可以让学生手写故事剧本，或在Google Slides上共同编辑故事（为促进沟通，一组一台电脑就好，轮流打字。）（从构思到完成剧本过程中，老师都要不断和孩子讨论、修改）

Students can do this part either by hand-writing or typing on Google Docs. From composing the story to completion, teachers can have constant meeting with the groups to facilitate them. (If your students choose to type on Google Doc, make sure each group shares only one computer to encourage communication.)

＊4.学生录制卡通片Making cartoon

先指导孩子人物的语气应该如何符合心情和场景气氛。毛片完成后，教师也要和孩子们一起讨论修改，才最终定案。

Guide students what tones they can use to make the mood of the characters and the atmosphere of the scenes more vivid. Teachers are encouraged to review it with the students before they export their videos.

＊5. 全班出版卡通片Publishing the cartoon

在我班上出版卡通片有两种方式。一，分享在班级部落格上。二，做成QR Code印出来，张贴在教室里（请看宣宣之前的分享文：用二维码打造一个数码教室）

I publish the cartoons to these two places: 1, on the class blog. 2, Posting the QR code that take viewers to the videos in the classroom. (please see Making Your Classroom Go Digital)

项目成品像这样(Padlet)——主题：如何将生存权还给动物
