Let's start our Investigate today.

Our unit question is: How can I use Computer Technology to creatively tell a story?
Area of Interaction: Human Ingenuity

1. Identify the Problem (2 paragraphs)
1. The best way to begin your Investigation is by writing a paragraph that explains the problem as you understand it. (State problem, restate problem in your own words, say why this project is relevant, say how you will solve the problem, say who your customer is).
2. Then write a paragraph to connect your project to an Area of Interaction (Human Ingenuity)

2. Develop a Design Brief (Ask and answer the following questions or look at the following research topics to help you solve your problem)

Write a sentence to introduce this section of the project (ex: To drive my Investigation I will conduct the following research.)
1. What is stop motion? Research and explain in your own words.
2. What are the elements of a story?
3. Look at 4 stop motion videos to gather information and ideas to make your own video?
(What worked? What didn't? What did you like? What didn't you like? What ideas can you use?
4.  What techniques do I need to know to create a stop motion video? (Look at a tutorial).
5. What video host will you use? (Look at 2, justify choice)

Learning objectives: independently identify meaningful questions, carrry out web search, select and organize appropriate sources and evaluate them.
