Author: tori parshley

Student Information

Over the next couple of days in class, we will be discovering all the aspects the different seasons. We all know that their are four seasons in a year, because we sing our season song everyday, but do you know what type of weather occurs in each season? Do you know what order the seasons come in? Let's find out! Follow the instructions below to create the seasons using your LEGO StoryStarter Kit and then make a really cool video using your LEGO Movie Maker app on your iPad! 

Student Directions

1. Select four grey base plates from your LEGO StoryStarter kit. 

2. Build each season on each grey base plate. You can start with whatever season you would like, but make sure to build all four on separate base plates. 

3. Use the LEGO pieces in a way that best illustrates what each season looks like. 

4. Once you have created all four seasons, get out your iPad because it is time to make a movie! 

5. Using your LEGO Movie Maker app that we downloaded in class start to make your movie! 

6. Once in LEGO movie, and select “Make a Movie.”

7. Choose a frame for your movie from the option on the right hand side.

8. Then click on the box that says “My Movie” to change the title of your movie. Then select “done.”

9. Once you have selected your frame and added your title, hit “done.”

10. Review the instructions on the “How to Use” page and select “start.”

11. Now take a picture of each of the base plates, or the different seasons. You should start with winter, to spring, to summer, and then fall.

12. Once you have taken all of the pictures in the proper order, hit “done.”
