Author / Richard Scott Kaczynski
Subject(s) / Animation
Topic or Unit of Study / Flip book
Grade/Level / 9th - 12th grade
Summary / Students will begin to comprehend the basic concepts of animation by creating a Flip book. This is a traditional form of animation used before the film era.
STANDARDS:
Standards / Animation
Strand 7: Engage in Pre-Production/
Planning Phase of Product
Creation in Animation
7.1 Learning the history of Animation in
America, by research.
7.3 Common themes of Animation throughout
history.
EEI (ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF INSTRUCTION) - LESSON PLAN ELEMENTS REQUIRED:
Objective / - Students will brainstorm basic animation ideas and fill out a Plan of Progress before beginning production of their Flip book.
- Students will create a classic Flip book animation based on their Plan of Progress, pre-production document.
Teach Lesson / Model / The teacher will present multiple video examples of Flip book animations created by other artists from around the globe.
Guided Practice / The teacher will hand out a Plan of Progress document to students. This worksheet will help students organize their thoughts before moving into production. The teacher will answer questions and help students brainstorm if needed.
Independent Practice / The students will work on their Flip book animations. The animations will be required to be 50 frames and involve more than one movable object.
Closure / Once their artworks are complete, students will turn in their Flip books to the teacher.
Evaluation Assessment/Rubrics / Student comprehension will be evaluated through an analytic rubric that will be gone over on the first day of the project.
MATERIALS AND RESOURCES
Instructional Materials (handouts, etc.) / Plan of Progress handout, Analytic Rubric, Video examples, Directions.
Resources / Post-It pads.
Flip Book Project Directions (100 pts)
- Fill out the Plan of Progress handout. This graphic organizer is meant to help you brainstorm ideas, organize your thoughts, and know what you will be doing before you start production.
- Turn in the Plan of Progress to Mr. Kaczynski before you start production on your Flip book. This is allows me, your Supervisor, to approve of your ideas and offer feedback before getting too far into production.
- Create a Flip book using the Post-It Note pad provided. Your animation must have, at minimum, 75 frames/sheets and more than ONE movable object.
- Turn in your Flip book to Mr. Kaczynski before the end of the week, Friday August 15th, 2014.
