Creating explanations

Over the past few weeks we have been looking into writing clear, detailed explanations. We watched a Wallace and Grommit Animation called ‘The Snoozathon’ from the Cracking Contraptions series. After talking through the sequence of events and adding actions we wrote explanatory captions to go with still photos taken from the animation. Using the Voicethread website we added voiceovers to still images and then played them back to evaluate our work.
