This is a super fun way to have students make a portrait and apply what they know about syllables and speech to create an engaging stop motion animation.

See this blog post.

See this lesson for all the steps needed to take a lump of air-dry clay and turn it into a swimming fish using stop motion animation.

See this lesson for all the steps needed to transform two sheets of cardboard into an expressive robot that moves with stop-motion animation. Take the lesson further by learning to apply drawn animation over the video to make it light up.
