Animoto is a
cloud-based video creation service that produces video from photos, video clips, and music
into video slideshows. It is also a convenient and useful tool for language
learners to practice writing through the form of storytelling or digital diary.
Colors Around You
I designed a 30 second video slideshow, named Colors Around Me. I assume that the target vocabulary is about colors. Then I want my students to choose one color which is their favorite. Then they have to choose at least 5 objects that are around the students related with colors. Since the students have to write a short a brief description of the objects, they could improve their writing and enlarge their vocabulary at the same time. Furthermore, during the process of making this video, students could share their personal preferences with the teacher and other classmates, and also feel relax and comfortable to express themselves.
At last, in the completed output of students, texts
in the video are what the teacher should pay more attention to. And pictures
and music facilitate the process of writing with much more fun. Animoto ensures
that students will learn and have fun at the same time.
That's a great plan for practicing colors and the present tense.
