Self Portrait: My Talents
Chute 7th grade students created portraits in Photoshop that displayed their talents. Students then worked alone or in groups to develop a Photoshop background on a separate layer. Students created a frame by frame stop motion video by moving their portrait layers then saving each movement as a .jpg file. Then, they loaded the .jpg frames into iMovie. Students used an iPod Touch to record their voice, then imported it into iMovie to provide the narration. The reel below was created with student projects from the two classes. Below the movie, view student samples at various points throughout the process and see the tutorial for starting in Photoshop.

Each week, students took a screenshot of their progress and dragged it into Word. Students created text boxes to show areas of growth and describe the tools and techniques they used to make progress. Below are some examples.
