Grades 1-3 Walt Disney!

Walt Disney


Grades 1-3 continue their study on the successful characteristics of powerful people. We knew Walt Disney must have been a fun guy since he created Disneyland and all, but there were many other aspects of his personality and life we didn't know.  Some vocabulary words we studied in this unit were:  sychronized, optimist, urban legend (the legend that Disney froze his body--not true!), and convergence.  We looked at



the way Disney's original animations (Steamboat Willie and Snow White) converged to create new, modern movies like Tangled as we discussed how his movies related over time.  Looking at the art of Animation prompted us to create some of our own animations on ipads, and we saw first-hand some of the problems early animators had to tackle.  The following our some of our animations:
