Purpose

When telling a story, it is important that it is well structured and has a point.

You can create a narrative in many ways.

In this exercise you have to make a story about robots with Stopmotion, and your story will be supported by pictures and sound.

You have to be creative and practice being a good storyteller.

Task

1. Create a story about a robot.
   Your story should include at least 2 of the following elements:
   • The robot has been given a task.
   • The robot is challenged and must find another solution to the task.
   • The robot meets a helper.
   • The robot breaks down.
   • The robot must be coded.
   • The robot has been programmed incorrectly.
   • The robot doesn’t understand anything.
   • The robot is attending a competition.

2. Create figures of cardboard and paper, of Lego or use any other material. 
3. Write a script and create a plan for your movie.
4. Download the Stopmotion app to your tablet.
5. Record your movie.
6. Share your movie with your friends. Maybe they want to make one too?

Test yourself!

Think about which stories you have liked. 

Are there elements from them that you could have used in your narrative?

If you had to change one thing in your story, what would it be?

Or what if there was a Chapter 2, what would happen to the robot?
