Assignment Sheet
Working Dogs
Your assignment is to conduct research and create a Hyperstudio presentation that documents your findings and informs your audience about your a breed that you choose study. You must support your findings with factual research and credit at least three sources. Incorporate photos, drawings, animations, and/or video clips of your chosen breed, and include any other relevant materials into your stack. You are also responsible for linking one card to a relevant Web site of your choice. For instance, if you are studying Dalmatians you may want to link to the Dalmatians Web site (http://www.sparky.org/dalmatian/index.htm). Keep this in mind while conducting your research. In addition to a Hyperstudio stack, you are responsible for completing a storyboard and presenting your project to the class.
Project components:
1. Storyboard - A storyboard serves as a blueprint for the framework of the stack. The storyboard provides a work space where the team can plan the structure of their stack as well as the images and text for each card. You are to use the storyboard to plan the flow of the stack and choose images and text for each card. Each box on the storyboard represents a card. Sketch the image in the box and write the content on the lines provided beside each box. This must be completed and checked by your teacher before you can move on to the next step.
2. Hyperstudio Stack - Your stack should consist of a minimum of five cards. Each stack should contain text, images and sound. Animation is optional. When working on your stack, use this check list:
- A title card
- A table of contents
- A minimum of five cards per stack
- Navigational buttons that lead to the correct cards
- A Reference Card that lists at least two sources
- Clear and readable text
- Correct spelling and punctuation
- Purposeful cards that point to the content
- Graphics and animations that support content, not override it
- A button that links to the web
