Assignment rules, requirements: Each student will work on their own animashion, no groups or partners. Each Animashion Must Have: -at least 5 or more "scenes" -at least 2 moving elements per scene. -at least 2 images you import yourself -text to communicate story -entire Animashion should be at least 20 seconds long (hoping for 30+ sec) The Grade The Assignment:Welcome back from spring break, our assignment is to learn and make an animation (meaning moving pictures) we will be using free software that is on the Internet called a web-app, the animation will tell your spring break story. This story could be completely true or could be exaggerated truth if you wish. Basically keep it in the bounds of reality while allowing fictional imagination to dominate the story telling process. To learn how to use animasher, it is detailed out in a tutorial when you click on "LEARN". To get started simple click on this link, or in the address bar type animasher.com Sign up for your own account (you do not need to enter an email) REMEMBER YOUR OWN ACCOUNT  -  I will write it down for you IF you want, but you are a big kid now and need to learn to remember your own login and passwords. *As tempting as it might be to let creativity fly and break the school computer acceptable use policy, keep in mind all content must stay school appropriate, you should know what this means by now. Usually I have to remind students no guns or other similar violent weapons or imagery.
