An Animation of Your Own

Problem Description:

You have been asked to design and create an animation using the following theme: Something unusual or extraordinary happening in an otherwise normal scene.

Here are some ideas to get you thinking:

• Aliens landing in front of you on the walk to school
• A shark jumping out of your glass of juice at lunch
• Your class being interrupted by a zombie apocalypse

So long as your idea doesn't include anything inappropriate, there is no limitation on what you can do for this animation. It just has to be something unusual in an otherwise normal scene.

Your teacher will provide you with the Nothing Ever Happens Worksheet via Google Classroom.
