Now that we've had a refresher on animation, it's time to dive in with a project that will get you thinking! In the next 6 classes, we will be creating an animation project in Keynote that requires you to correctly animate the meanings of a set of homophones. Here is an example:
Learning the Difference Between 2 Homophones
So what's required for you? Here is the assignment criteria:
Groupings
You may work individually, in a partnership, or group of 3
Planning page
Complete all elements of the planning page, including sharing your homophone pair choice and sketching out the storyboard section. Be sure to label your plans for where animations will occur and show the formatting you intend to use (font colours, object sizes, object layering or locking, removing backgrounds on images, etc)
Digital Creation
You will be using Keynote to create an original animation. The animation must teach the audience the difference between a set of 2-3 homophones.

Digital Footprint One-Pager Assignment |
October 30-November 3, 2023

Last week, we completed our Digital Footprint One-Pager planning sheet. This week, we will use our plans to create a digital poster of our online "profile."
Of course, this isn't a real profile, but it should look and feel like a one-page overview of your online activity (or what you would like your online activity to become one day). Here's what should be included on your digital profile one-pager poster:
You should be using the information you added to your planning sheet to guide you. We will be using the Pages app to design our posters and Mrs. LS will walk you through how to create your poster from an existing template.
Digital elements you must include in your final poster:

Of course, this isn't a real profile, but it should look and feel like a one-page overview of your online activity (or what you would like your online activity to become one day). Here's what should be included on your digital profile one-pager poster:
- Information about you, the user - what makes you who you are
- What you use - the apps, devices, or online services you use
- What you consume - what you search for, watch, like
- What you create - what you post about, comment on, or put online
You should be using the information you added to your planning sheet to guide you. We will be using the Pages app to design our posters and Mrs. LS will walk you through how to create your poster from an existing template.
Digital elements you must include in your final poster:
- Text that sets up the page for the audience (titles, subtitles, body text that explains)
- Images that communicate information (types of apps you use, images that tell about you, what you search, etc)
Bonus design elements:
- Make sure you have consistent styling including colours, font styles, and sizes
- Remove backgrounds from photos to make your poster more sleek
Digital Footprint Intro & Overview |
October 26, 2023

Our digital footprints are the permanent mark we leave online when we search, view, like, comment, share, or create content. Over the next few days we will be looking at our own marks that we are currently leaving online - or, for those of us that aren't heavy digital users, what we intend to leave once we start using the internet more often.
The link below will navigate to a planning page for our first digital project: a digital footprint one-pager. The goal of this project is to outline all the ways we think we're leaving a mark online. The planning page will guide us on what to include.
