Have a great summer Year 9!

 But before we go let's take a look at stop motion animation. You looked at it earlier in the year in Art and I was quite impressed with your results. Let's work in groups.

What is it? Stop motion (also known as stop action) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_motion 

Where can I find some examples to gather information, inspiration, and ideas?    Smash!ng Apps http://www.smashingapps.com/2009/06/15/21-stunning-examples-of-creatively-done-stop-motion-animations.html

Can I see another example?  Sure http://mildlymelancholy.blogspot.com/search/label/video

How can I do it?  Wiki How  http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Stop-Motion-Animation

When does it need to be finished?  Thursday end of class.

Let's see if we can get one or two of these in the end of year assembly!

Continue working on your wiki pages - they are coming along nicely. You are incorporating loads of useful information, images and links.

When you finish move on to the Evaluate - Criterion E - maximum 6 points.

1. Collect data.  Print the questionnaire (that you created in the Investigate) and show your wiki page to 5 people and ask them to answer your questionnaire.
2. Analyze data. Write a paragraph to "analyze" the feedback. In other words write about the scores that you received and say how your wiki page could be improved based on testing.
3. Evaluate performance. Evaluate your performance at each stage of the design cycle: Investigate, Design, Plan, Create AND suggest ways that you can improve your performance. (You need 4 paragraphs here).
4. Provide an appropriate consideration of the impact of the wiki page. Write a final paragraph saying if you accomplished your goal and what impact it will have. In other words, look at the unit question - were you successful? Explain.


Learning objectives - The student will: carry out tests to compare final product against design specification, suggest improvements, reflect on their performance and identify parts they found difficult and suggest ways in which their performance could be improved, consider the impact of the product/solution on individuals and/or society, and explain how the product/solution could be improved.
