Animated stories using Hopscotch, Coding for Kids



Hi guys! 
Here you are your animated story using Hopscotch turned into a cartoon video.
Well done! You are very good coders but  excellent actors too!

Congrats! 
Your animation has all the elements of a good story:

  •  It has got a title: "Escape on a starry night" 
  •  There is a narrator and there are some dialogues
  •  There is a setting: Where and When the story takes place. 
  •  There are heroes and villains, main characters and supporting characters, protagonists and antagonists... 
  •  There is a plot that is all the action that takes place during the story. 
  •  There is a conflict: the robbers try to escape from the police but the hero stops them. 
  •  There is a climax: the villains are defeated and Pod saves Hopscotch City. 
  •  There is a resolution: Hopscotch characters go out and celebrate the victory. Everybody is happy. It's a happy-ending.

  • What's happening?
  • How do they  feel?
  • What are they thinking?
  • Where are they?
  • Where are they going?
  • What are they wearing?
