👨🏫 Teacher inputThe most important aspect for pupils to understand is that animations are made up of frames (a series of still pictures that when played in sequence will appear to move). You could watch the video introduction with your pupils, which highlights how stop motion animation is used and what a frame is. (this is the same video from the Year 2 pack so pupils may have already seen it)Before pupils try the activities from the pupil activity pack, you may want to show the video tutorials to the whole class (also included below) for each activity and discuss the different tools.🛠 What will teachers and pupils need?As well as the pupil activity pack using the code above, pupils will need access to:– PowerPoint (for activity 2, it will need to be PowerPoint 2019 or PowerPoint online) or Keynote (iPad).– The free (Legacy version – see below) – compatible with all devices. – The free – compatible with all devices.If pupils use Chromebooks/Google Education then can also be used for activity 1. Activities 2-4 cover tools not available in Google Slides but there is still a tutorial for activity 2 and 3 for pupils to try it using stop motion animation.🚦Differentiation Less able pupils should focus on activities 1, 5 and 6 as these tasks include fewer steps. Activities 2-4 require more steps to stretch the higher ability. Due to the different versions of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), it is a good idea to show pupils , to help locate tools. ✅ AssessmentFor each of the pupil activities below it provides options for how each animation could be saved or exported from the different software/websites covered. These saved animations can then be matched against the skills using the downloadable assessment grid below. , Even very young kids can learn simple ways to animate objects and drawings; both with and without a camera. Here are 6 awesome activities that can be used with kids of all ages to introduce them to animation and get their imaginations tuned into a higher gear., The 3 major types of animation are: traditional animation, 2D and 3D computer animation, and stop motion animation. In this post, we’ll go over the different types of animations, and step by step instructions for a great beginner animation project..
