Hey Greg, it was fun watching how your class decided to show idioms, since my class did the same thing, yet in a different way. I really liked how the literal example was different from the actual meaning. It was very clean cut and not so repetitive. Great job!

Greg, My class had a lot of fun viewing your movie. My students and I were "cracking up". A suggestion for your the future might be to slow down or have a longer time frame for students to read the idioms. I t seemed to be a little fast and not all my students were able to read it that fast. Great job Greg. Lebrac

Great use of drawings to create a feeling of animation. Students did a good job with expressive voice overs. Liked the addition of the dogs barking. I think I would have chosen different music. The kind of suspenseful and scary feeling of the music didn't match the content.

Super cute way of animation. I loved the comparison of meaning vs. words. I think the style of zooming titles detracted from reading them. Also, I know this is really hard at the 2nd grade level, but if the kids could have used the center of the paper and not drawn everything sitting on the bottom of the page.
Idiom Jones Keeps Changing His Mind is a quick animated video to help 2nd graders understand idioms.
