Tangrams and how to use Stop Motion   Our provocation was based around a Chinese myth that we viewed on YouTube.  Then we discussed the language needed to follow a tangram pattern for example slide, rotate, quarter turn.  We practiced making tangram shapes and patterns that had clear edges.  Next  we challenged ourselves by trying to duplicate tangram shadows with no edges. Very hard to do but we could do it!  Finally we had to use Stop Motion to get our tangrams to move.  Some challenges we experienced were keeping the camera still, making the movements too short or too long and not having enough shots.
