Using Bruner's CPA approach, children first create a concrete storyboard, which helps them visualize their story. This scaffolded learning enables them to transition to abstract concepts of animation by linking physical drawings to the dynamic actions they will create.
1. Gather 5 blank sheets of paper and a pencil. 2. Choose a simple story you love (like a myth or fable). 3. Draw the main scenes of your story on each sheet, one scene per page. 4. Number the sheets in sequence. 5. Share your storyboard with family members, explaining each scene. 6. How can you add movement to your story using animation techniques?
