Lesson 03 To Be An Animation Designer - Sheet
Learning objectives
1. Understand the concept of Sequence.
2. Master the basics of Sequence and learn how to create
animations using Sequence.
Key Concept
Sequence
To make Codey Rocky move forward for 1 second, turn right for 1 second and then
stop moving, we need to make sure our coding blocks are arranged in the order as
shown above. In brief, Sequence refers to a series of steps which are carried out in order
to complete a task.

Situated Learning
1 If the panda wants to put the 2 Put the watermelon into the fridge.
watermelon in the refrigerator, it
should follow the steps as below:
Step 1: Open the refrigerator. Step 2: Put the watermelon into the
fridge.
Step 3: Close the fridge door. Otherwise,the panda will fail to put the
watermelon into the fridge.
To put the watermelon into the fridge, We can write programs to simulate
we need to follow the steps above. this process.
The steps are called Sequences.

Learn through play
Join the teacher to play a game I'm a Robot. You will be able to get a
better understanding of the concept of Sequence.
1. The teacher acts as a robot, walks from somewhere in the classroom
to the blackboard and draws a smiley face on it.
2.Students give instructions to the robot and write the instructions
down on paper.
3.The robot should carry out actions as instructed.
Coding Practice
Winking Eyes
Traditionally, animation designers would make animations by following these steps: Put a sheet of static drawing on the
table first and unfold another piece of drawing paper on top of the first paper. Designers would outline the frame and then
change the drawing bit by bit at a time. Then another piece of paper, outline the frame and change the drawing slightly again.
Designers repeat the steps over and over again until they complete a series of pictures that are slightly different from each other.
Then, they flip the drawings quickly to animate the pictures. Based on the same principle, we use the block "show image ( ) for ( )
15
secs" in our program to create animations.
Imitate and Create
Task 1: Work in pairs. Add the block "show image ( ) for ( ) secs" to the code.
Duplicate the block but modify the image to make it look different each time.
Then arrange the coding blocks in the order as shown below. Ok, now the
animation is ready. Of course, you can add some facial expressions to Codey if
you want.
Upload the program to Codey. Then invite classmates to watch your animation.
