Digital Art and Animation Classroom Kit | Unit, Teacher Guide, Rubrics and Student Templates | Grades 6 to 12

The Classroom Kit is the full Digital Art and Animation unit with everything a classroom teacher needs around it. Students move from their first digital mark to an original animation across five sessions and four iPad apps, and you get the tools to plan, pace, assess, and showcase the work.

The Teacher Guide shows you how to fit the unit into your schedule: five 3-hour sessions, fifteen standard class periods, ten block periods, or a compact workshop series. It also offers enrichment ideas to stretch the unit to ten sessions, including sound design, critique circles, and a class animation.

Assessment is ready to go. Separate middle school and high school rubrics align to the National Core Arts Standards for Media Arts, and a checkpoint tracker covers all fifteen daily checkpoints in the unit.

The kit also includes student portfolio templates and the Eco Edition reference pack, so students can draw local plants, animals, and places. Every file is editable in Canva, zipped PDF backup.
