@jgmenator,
I like using short animation films in my classroom as well! Got the most laugher from the students when I showed them 'lifted'. Thank you for sharing your lesson PPT and worksheet. It's a great idea!

Hey all,
I though I'd share a lesson on Walt Disney that I did with my 1st grade Middle school classes since it relates to animation movie theme.
I've attached PPT, lesson plan and worksheet. You can record the script for listening gap fill and just play it in the class so you don't have to read it everytime. I usually recorded it and played it twice.
Also you can find the song "The whole new world" on youtube.

Enjoy:)

Re: Animation class - Comic exercise?

These are very cool lessons!  8)
If I were to contribute something, I would suggest that maybe having a simple storyboard of the short with empty comic book dialogue bubbles might be a nice addition to the already fun packed lesson. Suggesting that students give words to the characters for the story might be nice to get them to think creatively and to generate their own English, although that might be an activity for Middle School and up.

Does anyone have any experience with this? is it a good idea? Is there an easy way to produce these storyboards? Or is the somewhat laborious photoshop option the only way? I figured I'd throw this idea out there since I've been thinking about these lessons, and see what people think of it. If I do that in the future, I'll post any story boards I come up with.

So here is my first attempt at doing a comic based on one of the videos. I started with Scrat's Continental Crackup, but plan to do more for the other videos I show. I basically included the comic activity with the other activities that the OP has in his lessons. I also included a couple of the students' finished comics, which I thought turned out pretty well. I helped out with spelling and such, but they came up with the language themselves. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions, criticisms or comments. Thanks!
