To
write a program in Scratch to create an animation.
I can work in pairs.
I can draw my own Sprite cartoon characters
I can write an algorithm using Scratch to add speech
I can create an animation story based on a template
All children should be able to:
1 – Open the Sencolewis.co.uk website
2 - Login to Scratch your own personal login so that you can work at home and at school.
3 - Draw your own 2 Sprites and add dialogue (talking speech)
Most Children should be able to:
Complete 1 - 3
4 - Start to create your own original Scratch animation based upon my template - remix and save
5 - Add own backgrounds to the animation
6 - Work in pairs to debug the animations
Some Children should be able to:
Complete 1 - 7
7 - (Greater Depth)
Save your work in Scratch and share - view animations that your friends have made
Add extra dialoge (talking speech) code to your Sprite algorithms
1 - Add 2 new characters by drawing your own Sprite - keeping the existing code
GD:
3 - Change the timings of the costume changes
4 - Add a background
Group the children in pairs and provide them
with a storyboard template.
Give them some discussion time to decide what their story board will be about.
Children need to draw pictures to create their story board and show how to draw these characters as Sprites in Scratch.
What makes a good animation?
Show some examples of some good animations:
Algorithm – step by step guide/instructions to solve a problem.
Input – data supplied to the computer using a mouse/keyboard.
Output – Information produced by the computer on the screen or through the speakers.
Program – A set of instructions understood by the computer to create an outcome.
