Even if you don't watch a BrainPOP movie, you (and your students) can MAKE THEIR OWN movies! How can BrainPOP transform any topic your are studying in literacy, science, math or social studies? Even if the video is not relevant, activities like Creative Coding, Make-a-Movie and BrainPOP Quizzes can be used for students to demonstrate understanding. They can research information, search for relevant graphics, write in digital formats, make movies, speak in a clear voice, present information for an audience, and so on. Just use the Creative Coding or Make-a-Movie feature for any topic, and have students develop their project using content from your topic of study! Or any of the BrainPOP activities. Immersive Reader is embedded in many activities to support language development with content learning.
Here are some sample Make-a-Movie projects created by PS 48 students. Or take a look at the powerful Believe in YOU movies made by Fatima and Ashly. Amazing!

"You can make your own BrainPOP-style movies, building scenes with images from BrainPOP’s library, or creating your own drawings. Students can record narration, manipulate backgrounds, and add transitions between scenes. Make-a-Movie cultivates planning, organizing, writing, collaborating, and analyzing skills. Students take ownership of their learning as they engage with curricular content on a deeper level and demonstrate their comprehension of a BrainPOP topic."
TIP: You can do this for any topic, but you have to start it by using any BrainPOP topic.
Here are some sample Make-a-Movie projects created by PS 48 students.
