XTRANORMAL LESSON PLANS
Foreign Language Lesson
I allowed my students a few minutes to sign up (free) and explore the application before I set out the task to them: to produce a 1 – 2 minutes long film script based on a dialogue between two people on the topic of La Salud (Health), using appropriately complex vocabulary and grammatical constructions, which would then be turned into a short feature film using Xtranormal.

So for Science, one character could be explaining what they have found out to a second character. Like this:
You could also just have one speaker. Maybe make it into a news report explaining their findings. It could also be used to explain scientific concepts or to model important points in a debate about a controversial issue in Science.
The voices are a little stilted, but for those pupils who are too embarrassed to record their voices using microphones, it’s the next best thing.
The finished videos are hosted on Xtranormal, and you can embed them into blogs/VLE etc. You can also upload your videos to YouTube too if you wish.
