Create an Aura around one picture. The Aura will show a video created by you where the character itself explains the more relevant things about their life.

I was born in Badalona, I´m 23 years old and I love swimming.

THE TASK

• In the box you will find some pictures (you can find them at the end of the presentation), choose your favourite or …you can draw a face in the blank faces sheets.

• Talk to your partner and decide what´s more relevant about them. If you need more information search it on wikipedia (who they are, where and when they were born, why are they relevant…)

• Write four lines about them (first person!)

• Now it´s time to give the picture a voice!, we will use the app called Morfo to animate it and create a video. Save the video in the library afterwards.

THE ACTIVITIES

• Tap on this Icon to activate the app

• Tap on “Create a new face”.

+Ideas

• Same process can be done with worksheets, drawings, projects…

• Instead of using Morfo, use an animation software as Crazy Talk for more complex animations.

• Coordinate with the Arts and Crafts teacher and do the same with their self portrait so they can introduce and describe themselves o their friends.

• Create a chain of questions and answers beetween the characters so as to facilitate a dialogue. Imagine Steve Jobs asking Android about the future…;)
