Using green screening to motivate reluctant writers.

In my early years of teaching I encountered many reluctant writers. Often the reluctance was due to a lack of having anything to write about. By providing an exciting motivation to write alongside scaffolded vocabulary these once reluctant writers became keen writers. One such motivator is green screening where the student is able to see themselves in the story.
Not a mac school? Here's a video clip explaining using Windows Movie Maker to do a similar thing.

  1. On the iPad there is an app by DoInk: https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/green-screen-by-do-ink/id730091131?mt=8
    It allows green screening on the iPad and you only need a green sheet behind it. Haven't used it with the kids yet, but have been exploring its possibilities.
