Computer Animation Project!!
The students have expressed a desire to create animations. Many of them have expressed that they have access to a digital camera (whether they are allowed to use it might be another question!-- we could work out a share)

In order to create animations they need to have:

+ A Social Studies topic for the movie. Select an event that is interesting to you from our California Social Studies book. It can be a subject we’ve already studied or something we will be studying in our book.

+ A plan for the shots, like a storyboard.
(Example: Pic 1: Close up of train, Pic 2: Train on starting point on map, etc.)

+ A plan for any dialog, music and / or sound.

+ Pics to be uploaded to jpeg or gif files, put in a folder named "grade#.studentname" and sent to SAICserver>admin>dropbox (this is something we can do in class or you can save to disc yourself and bring the disc in)

Please take home your Social Studies book to get started on at least selecting a topic. That is the only work you HAVE to. If you would like to get ahead and/or you are very excited about computer animation, please work on the storyboard plan for the shots.

Yes, we have a digital camera that my child would be able to bring it to school and use it. When cameras are not in use, we would keep them in a box together.

No, we do not have a digital camera for my child to borrow.
