Description of activity:
Students design, produce and evaluate an animation comparing the past stewardship of the Aboriginal custodians and the sustainability of their practices with the present care of the local environment.
The animation should:
- compare the past and present custodianship of the local area
- provide ideas for management of the local area
- promote respect and care of the environment
- demonstrate technical expertise.
Context:
This is the final assessment activity in a unit of work on animation comparing the past stewardship of the Aboriginal custodians and the sustainability of their practices with the present care of the local environment to determine what is required to manage their local environment. Students imagine they are time travellers who journey into the past to investigate the land of their local area. Students have researched their local area, developed skills in the use of animation software such as gif animator or pivot and have developed and evaluated storyboards. The animation will be saved on flash drive, CD or DVD and screen grabs will be included in their portfolio.
