iLEAD Online Clay World Explorers Become Storytellers!

iLEAD Online Clay World Michael J Octo Hero

iLEAD Online’s learners in Clay World class have been busy molding, shaping, and bringing their imaginations to life! They’ve learned to transform ordinary clay into extraordinary characters, creatures, and objects. Now, it’s time for the grand finale: The Storyteller’s Quest!

In this quest, our young creators embark on a journey to weave captivating stories around their clay creations. They delve into the elements of storytelling — crafting compelling plots, developing dynamic characters, and building exciting settings — all while using their clay creations as the stars of the show.

To help them on their quest, they can choose their own adventure! Will they create a stop-motion animation, bringing their characters to life frame by frame? Will they design a digital book on Storybird, complete with illustrations and text? Or will they craft a captivating slideshow with Google Slides, using images of their clay creations and adding narration? The possibilities are endless!

Spotlight on Michael J: Octo Hero!

One of our talented storytellers, Michael J, has truly embraced the Storyteller’s Quest. He has woven together a thrilling tale called “Octo Hero: The Story of an Eight-Legged Hero.” This epic adventure features a whole cast of characters Michael sculpted in class, showcasing his incredible creativity and dedication.
