Introduction: The FLIP BOOK is a rudimentary project that allows students to directly explore both motion and storytelling. This design requires that students sketch out simple bodies, characters and locations which can be arranged into a sequence of events in which things move, grow and change. An essential aspect of picturing a story in time is to define the way things appear to change. For example: Things can change from big to small, fat to thin, young to old, clear to blurry, dark to light, near to far, indoors to outdoors, animal to human, up to down, left to right. Discuss the general ways in which these shifts suggest growth, change and time passing. Then have each student sketch out a simple character and sequence which can also include captions and text, in order to produce their own flip books.
