Then launch the students into writing the story, respecting the decisions made in the previous step; to do this, refer to the poster. Have them work in groups, share regularly, read the first drafts, make choices between the different versions, go back, correct, start writing again... And so on until the end. Create the characters from the story using modeling clay. Distribute the tasks between the students, several attempts will be necessary, put them together to show the achievements and repeat if necessary. There are many tutorials on the internet with advice on choosing modeling clay. Here is a tutorial for making a modeling clay man from a drawing.

Then we will bring the characters to life by staging them, following the story written by the students, and filming them. To do this you will need to use video editing software. This article from Canopé Aquitaine offers a free software list that can be used in class to do this type of project. We can choose to make the characters speak in the film (with the voices of the children), make a silent film and add a soundtrack (a student who tells the story, music or a sound creation). Then present this film to other classes and/or parents.
