Short Animation

I showed my middle school students "The Legend of the Scarecrow" tonight to continue our practice with writing summaries:

It's a production from Spain, so you can find the original in Spanish; there's also a version with spoken Spanish and written English subtitles (maybe that's the original--?) . . . here:

The content might be a bit spooky for young kids, but I like the film a lot.  It's sad, but well-made. The film tells the story of why crows are black.
