wow this looks great.
I was in the process of preparing a 13 week special lunch time class and this sounds like a great idea.
Thanks!

This is a good idea! Kids get so creative when they have no limitations. I may do this for my lower-level classes... they become too self-conscious when speaking to me about the lesson topic. Through another medium, maybe they'll let their guard down. Thanks for the idea.

Here is also a silent fun video for students to predict what will happen next.

This is fun. I want to use this, because this animation can stimulate students to think and make their own sentences based on their feelings.
Thank you~^-^

This is such a creative idea!  I was looking for activities to go along with short films, and asking students to make up their own dialogue is awesome :)

I'm gonna do this with my afterschool class. I think the comic will really be fun for them and hopefully they will be able to write a lot and make full sentences. Thanks!!!

Someone had an activity for "Day and Night" on a personal webpage that I modified and created a worksheet for.  Here is the worksheet based on Tolerance and Equality.

This is awesome. I'm thinking about using these for my 1st grade highschoolers the week before exams.

Has anyone managed a whole lesson using any of these activities?

Cheers!

Your middle schoolers can handle that worksheet?   :o I'm impressed.

This is awesome!  I did something similar with one of my middle school classes, and they loved it!  I know they are going to have a blast with this one!  I can't wait to use it!  Thanks! ;D

Here's a comic dialogue worksheet I put together for the "Big Buck Bunny" short film. Students create their own dialogue after watching the video.

So, after a lot of work, I've finished my prep for winter camp.

Below is an Elementary winter camp for 3 classes. I'm travelling home for Christmas vacation with the contract renewal 4 weeks, so my school is strangely making me do a 7 day camp.  Anyway, if you have a longer camp, there is definitely enough material available in this thread to provide for a few more days. Plus, if you want to make more, wikipedia has a list of all of pixar's short films. There are a ton that haven't been covered in this thread.

Attached:
- Lesson Plan: 3 elementary classes x 45 minute lessons x 7 days.  beginner class, intermediate class, and advanced class.

- beginner worksheets: writing practice, word searches, and coloring activities. After videos and new vocabulary, i'm intending on giving my 1st and 2nd grade Elementary students these worksheets. I'm also intending to give them to my 3rd and 4th graders and homework (minus the coloring activities). also, in the next week, i'm going to edit the sheets and insert harder crossword puzzles for my advanced class of 5th graders and 6th graders. i'll use it for homework and odd minutes at the end of class.

films shown:
day 1 - for the birds
day 2 - oktapodi
day 3 - big buck bunny
day 4 - lifted
day 5 - pigeon impossible
day 6 - partly cloudy
day 7 - presto
