Making a movie

http://www.visual-idioms.com/

Your students can make a story into a movie, i.e. turn the static pictures into moving pictures. All your students need is their cameras. They also have to learn how to use a suitable editing programme (for example Windows Movie Maker is very easy to learn and comes as standard with Windows). Divide the class into groups of 3-4 friends who can work together after school. Each group chooses an idiom as a title of their film. They create a short story of about 20lines. Then they take suitable pictures with their cameras to represent their lines. They import the images into the Movie Maker, align each image with the correct line, and add the title at the beginning and credits at the end. They should also add some music. Then they put the video online (to Facebook or YouTube) and share it.
