Lesson plans

Click on the image below to download some Anithings lesson plans. These are designed as a rough guide to teaching your children how to animate with Anithings.

They are broken up into 6 sessions, younger children may need a whole lesson per session whilst older children will manage multiple sessions.

 

If you wish to tie the lesson plans into the QCA schemes of work the closest match is Unit 2b - Creating pictures:

"In this unit children will:

 Develop visual ideas for different purposes using ICT and other methods.

Explore and realise their ideas and develop ways to adapt and improve their work.

Select and use simple tools and understand that thier work can be easily amended."
