1. Students will work in groups of no more that four to develop a storyboard of their story to be submitted for a grade. They may use traditional stories like Little Red Riding Hood or rewrite it with a twist. They may write a story of their own.

2. Students will write a script using their storyboards to be submitted for a grade.

3. Each group will begin creating their scenery, props, and clay figures to be used in making a video using a flip camera.
