Making Teachers notes These slides deal with making of the product. Pupils can use Serif,Draw to drawing backgrounds and characters. They can then produce animations by cloning and moving elements in the frame. To begin the animation concept with pupils, start by doing a simple animation such as a ball bouncing and then develop this further by adding details. First familiarise pupils with the idea of cloning the frame showing where and how to do this They can then begin creating their animations. In the presentations a range exemplars of the pupils work have been include, these could inspire pupils when creating their own animations. Have fun. In terms of SerifDraw it is a very user friendly program and pupils will make good progress very quickly.
