Main

Open up Google classroom:

 

https://classroom.google.com

You will see 3 options:

1. Option 1 (challenge) - Edit the little bird dude to move around the screen using 'States' in Adobe Fireworks
2. Option 2 (even more of a challenge)  - Follow the Bouncing Ball Tutorial to create your own character and animate it, using States in Fireworks.  You will need the patience to follow a tutorial
3. Option 3 (the ultimate challenge) - Use the video tutorial to have a go

If one is too easy or too difficult, then try something harder or easier.
If you discover something amazing, share it with the class!  

C3b4me - if you get stuck
1) Look at the options along the side or top of the Fireworks software
2) Ask a friend or 'Google it'
3) Only when you're REALLY stuck - ask Miss or Sir
