Claymations can be created in all parts of the Victorian Essential Learning Standard domains. The study of the environment has become exceptionally significant with the increase in pollution and global warming. A suggested lesson program is to create a Claymation on the awareness of recycling. English skills will be incorporated as they must produce a story that is creative and addresses the topic. Characters and backdrops can then be made and production started. Claymations can be the focal point of area of domains or act as a support for teaching programs. For example it can be used as learning ‘hands on’ activity after the topic has been taught to summarise their new knowledge. As a focal point the students will research for knowledge on their topic to create their Claymation. This is a more ‘hands on’ approach and will challenge their thinking skills greater. As they create, design and produce their own Claymations students will meet the criteria of my teaching goals in their new levels of thinking.
