Make Your Own Video and Be the Actors!

This is a super fun activity to do with a class of high school students that are learning English.  It's the perfect way to practice their speaking and at the same time have so much fun, they don't realize they are using English.  The platform is Go Animate and it may also be used as a writing activity since they can also choose to only choose characters that have a prerecorded robot-like voice which proves to be quite funny.  The students are able to choose their setting, characters, voices, facial expressions, actions, etc. and in doing so they can create a small scene from their imagination or it can be used as a reading treatment activity. 

In my example, I used to story¨"Ms. Bixby and the Colonel's Coat" as a way to add a scene of dialogue for students as a post-treatment activity.  The students can choose a silly scene as I have done, with a hamburger (!) for example, and add with your own voice or writing what they are saying.  My example is a scene between the two ladies in the story in a funny bonus scene I invented.
