Students recently got the chance to become authors. We kicked off our lesson by watching the beautiful, award-winning animated short film An Object at Rest. The story follows a single rock facing the relentless forces of nature and human civilization over millions of years.
Inspired by the story, our students became authors and animators themselves. They put a modern twist on the classic rock cycle by creating their own digital rock stories. Using Google Slides (and its many tools), students imagined their rock on a journey through the ages. From dramatic volcanic eruptions to millions of years spent under deep ocean pressure, their digital projects brought a simple rock to life with incredible imagination!
