Animation: Endangered animals
Summary of task
Students studied endangered animals, read The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, and created short stop motion animation artworks as part of a 10-week unit called ‘Our Animal Planet’. They developed their understanding of the natural world and sustainability, while gaining self-confidence through communicating their learning digitally.
The unit integrated English, Geography, Science, Technology and The Arts to develop the students’ understanding of endangered animals and their environments by researching and creating a PowerPoint presentation to share with the class. Students also wrote narratives based on their choice of an endangered animal and completed an animated artwork for the purpose of increasing awareness in the community about endangered species.
