Xtranormal








Xtranormal.com is a free text to movie maker. The tool allows users to create movies easily and efficiently. You choose a scene and characters and add text, emotions and movements by simply clicking on the options. 

I have used this tool to motivate my class to manage their own learning. There are many different ways you can incorporate xtranormal.com in the classroom. These can include:
- Publishing student writing- explanations, recounts, book reviews.
- Demonstrating how characters solve problems. 
- Debating
- Persuasive writing
- Advertising class events

Here is an example-



To get started-

- Click on create account
- Click on create

- Choose your scene and character from the options.

- Decide on the number of actors to be used


- Follow the prompts  to choose your set, actors, sounds and begin writing your story. 

 



- You can choose to save your movie and continue working on it at a later date or have the option to listen, preview and publish your story online. 


- Once your story is finished your can embed on your blog or website.
