Stop-Motion Animation - French Project - Spring 2014

1. Notre impact global
DAY ONE
For the next few days, we are going to
work on a project that involves
collaboration, design thinking, and
creativity. (Of course, all of this will be
presented in French. Yay!)

2. OBJECTIVE
• Using stop-motion techniques, learners will
work collaboratively to design a commercial
on the global impact of an organization that
they envisioned.

3. Soyons créatifs!
In today’s job market, employers are looking more and more for
individuals who not only speak more than one language, but can bring
design thinking to the table.
Students around the country are creating and inventing new things
that could potentially impact our world for the better.
Let’s start thinking about how we can impact our world in a positive
way today!
Watch this video about the awesome work students are already doing
in our country:
