The Animation Chefs gave me a great idea for a creative lesson on figurative language and animation. Students can use DOINK animation app to illustrate & animate an idiom. Using and understanding figurative language shows up in the CCS 1-12th grades. Here is a list of idioms.
Below are some of the ideas I've tried so far.
Each idea used a different strategy for animation. I think this would be a great way to explore the possibilities in DOINK, challenge students to do some creative problem-solving, and demonstrate an understanding of figurative language all at the same time. I made my short animations into gifs using Bloggif's video to gif converter (free online).

Here is another idea for idioms. This video was made with a small group of students during summer school. They illustrated an idiom and explained what it really meant. Each chose a garageband loop of music to set the stage for their figurative language segment. This video makes me yearn for small groups and long art sessions.
