I
have recently discovered the Toontastic
App! Toontastic is an app that works on Android phones/tablets and Apple
phones/ipads as well.
This
is an app that lets you create animated movies that are short. You can also
have the option of creating a series of videos with set templates.
 |
| Choose your template |
The templates are:
1. A short story: beginning, middle,
ending.
2. A classic story: setup,
conflict, challenge, climax, resolution.
3. Science report: question,
hypothesis, experiment, results, conclusion.
Those will enable you,
as a teacher, to set an activity that works on enhancing and practicing
speaking in English, understanding the structure of stories and practice
presentation skills.
Here is an example
for a dialogue:
