[Yr7-10it] Flash Assignment Activity - year 9

[Glenn Demery]

I get them to make an interactive nursery rhyme. I aim it for our preschool and infants. When complete the students show the classes how they work and the little kids love using them with interactive whiteboards.

The nursery rhymes can be as complicated as you would like. I get them to add touch sensitive areas that play sounds, animations or just read the text.

Some students even record the singing (sometimes of themselves) and add it to the stories.

The students making the stories see a real purpose for their work, have an audience in mind and always enjoy doing it.

Does anyone have any suggestion on an actual FLASH assignment task for
year9 ?   I curious to know what you guys are doing out there.   I just
don't want them to produce any story and was thinking of setting some criteria, such as incorporating at least 2 scenes (min) to  produce an advertisement, or demonstrating a sport tactic, or dance routine etc...

We have cover the concepts of Motion Tween using guided paths, tweening within tweening; animated mask; addition of sound to flash  and shape tween including text and numbers.  No action script as yet.
