Lesson 2

It’s time to create your animation!

Practical part

The following instructions refer to commands, make sure they complete all the necessary steps.

  1. Each team must decide what to film. It can be a fairy tale of any kind, let your imagination run wild. If the teacher has a specific topic, such as the animal world, then the teacher should voice it at the beginning of the lesson so that the students create the storyline accordingly.
  2. You need to prepare the objects and cut them out as was done in step 2 of the previous lesson.
  3. We create animation. Mostly the students work in their teams, but the teacher should make sure that the students have no questions and they know what to do next.
  4. When the teams have finished their work, all teams must send the video to the teacher. The teacher should open the video on the screen and each team should present their work for 3-5 minutes answering the following questions:

What is their story about?
– What objects were used?
– How did the story end?

Conclusion

This project develops digital literacy, creativity, mental flexibility, and other skills; the teacher can add other elements to the already finished project.
In this project, each student will be awarded a STEAM title in two categories:

– You created an animated video, you are a real animator!
– You created a story from your imagination and created an animated film, you are a real screenwriter and director!
