As potential follow up activities students could...

  • leave positive, thoughtful and helpful comments on each other's posts.

  • check their posts for feedback and create a new animation taking that feedback into account.

  • recreate their favourite animation (with their own ideas and twists of course).

  • write a story based on one of the animations they watched.

  • create a blog post that reviews some of the animations (keeping it positive).

Ako Hiko Film Festival Resource 2021

What? An animated film festival

When? 8th - 10th December

Who? Anyone!

Why? We can have as many entries as we like, you get to collaborate with your buddies and learn some new skills.

How? You can use Google Slides or Stop Motion Animator.

Where (does this fit)? Your animation could be...

  • a summary of a text you have read in reading time

  • a create option based on a T-shaped literacy unit you've been working on

  • an animated version of the film you were working on last time

  • connected to one of the many language weeks we have celebrated this year

  • a way of teaching others a concept in science or another subject.

  • a way of capturing and sharing your lockdown experiences
