Claymation Movie

Carl hatte mal wieder so eine Hausaufgabe für die ganze Familie bekommen. Diesmal sollte er ein Stop-Motion-Movie à la Wallace & Gromit produzieren, auch Claymation genannt. Das ganze ist eingebettet in eine sog. "Unit Question" für die 6. Klasse im Fach Computer Technology. Die Beantwortung dieser Question zieht sich dann mehrteilig übers Trimester hin.

Um zu verdeutlichen, wie das läuft, habe ich mal die Aufgabenstellung unten eingefügt. Unseren Blockbuster kann man sich dann am Ende des Beitrags anschauen. Wäre zu schade, dies der Welt vorzuenthalten.

The Unit question of Grade 6 CT project is “How can you make use of computer applications to educate your community about environmental issues?”. In CT, we cover six components of the design cycle:

A: Investigate – Students will investigate different ways in which computer technology can help to educate their community about environmental issues. A design brief will then be constructed with a clear statement of what the student is required to complete. A design specification will then be written which is a list of criteria that the intended project must be able to do. Students will also investigate current designs that are available commercially. These will give a good insight and some inspiration for their design ideas.

B: Design – Students will consider the components required and then create 2 different possible design solutions (story boards) as well as a final chosen solution. Once the final design is decided a template and small prototype will be created to showcase the idea.

C: Plan - Students will create action plan and use project management techniques to assist in the development of their project using a step by step plan, this will include instructions, assets needed and an estimated time for each step.

D: Create – Students will create their product. Students will be expected to use their final design idea and plan to help guide them through the creation process.

E: Evaluate – Students will reflect on each stage of the design cycle and write an evaluation commenting on the on-going nature of their design project. A final evaluation will also be written which comments of the success of the final solution when measured against the initial design specification.

F: Attitudes in Technology – Students will also be assessed in their attitudes in technology, which focus on the presentation of a design folder, their personal engagement during the project, and attitudes towards lesson participation, co-operation and respect for others.

Ich wäre mit so etwas eine Weile ausgelastet, von Carl ganz zu schweigen. Er hat's leicht genommen und zuerst mal das Thema ignoriert. Mit "Environment" hat sein Movie rein gar nix zu tun, außer im Abspann, wo wir uns einen Joke nicht verkneifen konnten.


Wer's nicht kennt: Die Figuren sind aus "Despicable Me", seinem momentanen Lieblingsfilm.
