Animaker 8

This page provides all the resources you will need to create a super cool animated presentation with Animaker free online animation software. If you have used PowToons, it is similar - but has a lot of additional cool features:

STEP 1: Sign up for a free account using your PUSD GMAIL

STEP 2: Watch the "How To Make A Presentation" tutorial. This is a must. Although the software is user-friendly, animation is never all that EZ, so this will walk you through how to get started.

Your Final Animaker Project

PSA For Middle School

Here is the process:

Decide on what you topic want to educate you audience about during your presentation/PSA.

It needs to be a topic that is relevant to a middle school audience and is helpful, a Public Service Announcement.

Below are some ideas, you can PROPOSE something new, but you have to run your choice by me first for APPROVAL before you begin.

You will need to have THREE TOPICS/FACTS that you will educate your audience during you presentation, like the example on Dental Hygiene. So do some research and have the THREE FACTS/TOPICS you would like to cover and put them in your email to me.... this will increase your chances of approval :)

YOU MUST EMAIL ME THE TOPIC YOU WOULD LIKE - AND I HAVE TO APPROVE BEFORE YOU START

(I don't want to have 10 of the same topics, so will be spreading them out)

Possible PSA topics:

*Dealing With Stress in school

*Managing Being Overwhelmed By Social Media

*Time Management (school, sports, hobbies etc..)

* Plagiarism (cheating in school)

*Anti Vaping PSA

*Being Organized With School Work

* Strategies For Being Successful During Remote Learning (new for 2020)

* How To Stay Social&Safe With Friends During Covid19 (new for 2020)

*Technology Tips For Remote Learning (new for 2020)

*Your new and creative idea?????

Project Requirements

1. Be CREATIVE, but you must include at least

THREE FACTS from your research. (yes...you will need to do some research!!)

You may be asked to prove where your facts were sourced.

2. Not too much text/writing - just bullet points. (see voice over below)

3. Your PSA must be at least 30 seconds, but no longer than 1 minute

(assume it might air on HPTV)

4. Include cool music and some sound effects where appropriate

5. You can use a Voice Over, which makes thing a lot easier

(but you need to record that outside of class, at home etc..)

6. You need to incorporate (use) at least FOUR of the SIX skills/effects you learned in Animaker (see challenges list above)... so you will need to plan ahead.

Note: You can use an Infographic Chart OR a map, depending on what

makes more sense for your topic.

Have Fun!!!
