Period 3

Extra assignment 5: Animation video with Canva

In Canva, you will make a short animation video for new first-year students. The video is about the move from primary school to secondary school. The goal is that new students better know what to expect after watching your video.

How to do it:

1. Go to Canva and log in with your Nassau account.
2. Choose Video or search in Canva for animation video.
3. Make a short video of about 30 to 60 seconds.
4. Use at least 5 slides/scenes.
5. Put a short text on each scene that helps new first-year students.
6. Add suitable pictures, shapes, icons or animations.
7. Use transitions or movement, but keep it calm and clear.
8. Check whether your video is neat, positive and easy to understand.
9. Download your video or share the link according to your teacher’s instructions.

What should be included?

• A clear title, for example: Welcome to secondary school.
• At least 3 tips for new first-year students.
• Examples of things that are different from primary school.
• A reassuring ending: show that it is normal to need time to get used to a new school.

Ideas for scenes: the first school day, checking your timetable, finding classrooms, planning homework, getting to know new classmates, asking your mentor questions.

NOTE (#privacy): Do not use a photo of yourself or your classmates. It is better to use existing pictures, icons or illustrations from Canva. Write neatly and positively.
