Animation to enhance storytelling

We will explore how to enhance your storytelling/literacy skills by building a scene and adding some animation to bring it to life. We will aim to make something like this:

In order to make this style of video, there are a few things we should consider.

1. What story or poem do we want our pupils to recite?
2. Where will they find/download content? There are websites such as Noun Project and Pixabay
3. What apps will be useful? For this example we used Voice Memos to record our reciting of the poem, and Keynote to build the scene and animation. 
4. Once the animation/scene is created – what can pupils do to enhance it further? To add in more of a creative flair? Creativity never stops – it evolves.
