Rationale and Unit Summary
|
| |
|
|
The unit has a focus on animation.
As a means to deliver the concept of movement, character development, backgrounds to create a context and a story board,
students are required to produce an animated sequence of scenes that involve an interactive quest for the viewer/participant.
In this case an audience of Year 3 and 4 students. These younger students will also assess the Kahootz outcome using a rubric
as they are the target audience.
This will provide feedback to the middle school students and enable final self evaluation based on the responses received.
The unit fosters knowledge of a range of equipment, processes and technologies based on the design brief. Students are
encouraged to explore a wide range of possible solutions, thinking outside the normal conventions in the development of their
final solution.

Student Tasks
|
|
|
| |
|
 |
Students work independently and collaboratively in the communication of their ideas and purpose around a game making theme. |
 |
|
The generation of their ideas results in imaginative solutions for their specific audience. |
|
|
They are extensively involved in problem solving and decision making particularly with the character objects that they incorporate to produce the animated quest. |
|
|
The incorporation of sounds adds dimension to the settings. |
|
The application of agreed and negotiated criteria assists the extent to which their Kahootz quest meets the audience needs. |
|
|
Regular file management assists organizational skills. |
|
Presentation using a data projector enable the student to showcase their outcomes in the first instance. |
|
|
Students share their outcomes with their peers and the student body on the Kahootz website for the College and by uploading to www.kahootz.com. These provide valuable platforms for the students to display their creative thinking and skills.
|
|
|
|
Evaluation enables peer assessment and a personal and group evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of their decisions and actions in the context of the task.
