Animated story - a narrative brought to life through the medium of animation
Stills - freeze-frame pictures taken from a moving image - they show one moment of the action, like pressing pause on a video
Common misconception
Pupils may find it hard to sequence the events/ images after watching the animation once.
Provide an opportunity to re-watch the animation. For Task A, print off the images and children can work in pairs or small groups to sequence the story on large sugar paper.
