The School at Columbia University, New York, New York
Project submitted by Lauren Pemberton and Cheryll Hajjar
The teachers here were working to find meaningful ways to integrate art and literacy in the 3rd Grade classroom. They thought of using clay animation to enable students to tell their own stories and then stop-action photography to animate them. Bringing a moment to life - using a painstaking method - was a way to help students focus and guide the writing of their personal narratives.
