Have Fun with this project. If you would like to know more, here is the original link to 50 more digital animation websites at TEACHTHOUGHT.COM (Click Here)! Good Luck!

ACADEMIC/LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Scholars will learn the basics of Digital Animation. Scholars will be able to create "mini" animations using an online application. Scholars will also start creating the basic drawing that will be used for a future "line-art" digital animation project. Scholars will be able to complete a Constructed Response about the "History of Animation" and discuss what they like, or do not like about the project.

STUDENTS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING! 

Scholars will sign into Google Drive as they enter the class. Scholars will read all directions on this post thoroughly and respond to the Constructed Response found on Google Classroom. Scholars will direct their browsers to DVOLVER and spend time creating a "MINI" animation project. They must include text and choose backgrounds and themes. When complete, they will email their project to Mr. S for review. Scholars will then follow the directions above to begin to create a "line-art" background for a future digital animation project.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE TODAY!
