Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)

eading and animating stories does not require the knowledge of "infallible recipes or magic formulas" (Bastos, 1999), but rather the experimentation of a varied set of strategies that will be experienced and adapted to each story, each animator and, fundamentally, to the target audience.

It is in this sense that this workshop, essentially practical, has as its main objectives to enable

its participants:

(i) Know the theoretical assumptions that shape the role of the animator and story animation;
(ii) To identify and characterize different contexts (formal and non-formal) of story animation;
(iii) Select texts suitable for different audiences and for different purposes
(iv) Experience techniques and strategies for reading and animating different texts suitable for different contexts
(v) Use different art forms as support for story animation: music, theater, illustration, etc.

Syllabus

1. Formal and non-formal contexts of story animation;
2. Discovering the text and the pleasure of sharing the text;
3. The mediator / animator: characteristics and functions;
4. Criteria for the selection of texts in relation to the contexts;
5. Animation stories using different artistic expressions.

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

In order to achieve these goals, sessions will be developed in which will be privileged (i) moments of selection and sharing of information of theoretical nature and presentation of projects already developed in other contexts focused on the 4 initial contents; (ii) moments of selection and analysis of texts/stories suitable for different audiences and goals (content 5); and (iii) elaboration and presentation of animation proposals, taking into account the contexts, audiences and goals (content 6).

Teaching methodologies

This course will privilege a methodology that promotes attitudes of research, selection and sharing of information, in order to (i) encourage self-confidence in the trainee to express reasoned opinions and develop critical thinking and (ii) enable them to build knowledge through experience or discovery, from the implementation of oral and written presentations and discussions (large group, small groups, role play, etc.).

Thus, sessions will be proposed for sharing and discussion (face-to-face and distance); for planning and development of projects, including moments of presentation and justification of the criteria defined in the selection of works and presentation of planned products.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

The teaching methodologies presented are related to the objectives of the course, in that the analysis, discussion and sharing of information aims (i) the knowledge of "the theoretical assumptions that shape the role of the animator and story animation"; (ii) the ability to identify and characterize different contexts (formal and non-formal) of story animation and (iii) know how to select texts suitable for different audiences and different purposes.

On the other hand, the planning and presentation of the animation project will allow the trainee (iv) to experiment with techniques and strategies for reading and animating different texts suitable for different contexts and (v) to use different art forms as a support for story animation.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

The assessment of the UC will be the result of the marks awarded to the different products presented, which will always have an individual component (presentation of an animation activity, reflection on the activity itself, collection activity, etc.):

Individual participation in the different tasks (30%);

Planning, design and presentation (pairs or group) of a story animation project (70%)
