Rationale
   
 
Needed an easy theme that would be interesting for High School students to be able to develop Kahootz skills when they have not produced them before.
   
Student Tasks
   
 
  Each student were shown via digital projector how to:
Fly through a world task.
  Each student then had to make a 2 scene world and master these 2 tasks before proceeding.
Walk a person across a room and get them to sit down on a sofa.
  Students were then taught how to:
Simulate 3D blood using a tomato and how to make a gun by changing the colour and shape of a hairdryer.
Select only portions of an animation to get the desired motion - ie use a portion of the 'talk on mobile phone animation' for drawing and aiming a gun.
How to link scenes and sound etc.
  Students are then given the major task to:
Make a multi-scene crime scene animation.

Involvement for Xpression Participant
   
 
Every student works independently but cooperatively with those next to them.
Students showcase their work at the end using a digital projector.
Student work is linked to from school intranet.
   
Learning Outcomes for Student Creator
   
   
Learn basic-advanced Kahootz skills.
Story telling - beginning, main story, end.
3D navigation, manipulation, key-frame concept.
Animation literacy.
   
Collaborative Potential
   
   
A longer story could be dreamed up where students each produce different scenes of the story.
Choose your own adventure could be compiled by combining multiple crime scenes.
A walk through crime scene could be produced where clicking on vital evidence links to the next scene etc. Only by following the correct clues do you get to the end.
