Procedure

Introduction to Light's Journey:

Begin the lesson by introducing the concept of light's journey - its origin from the Sun, traveling in space, entering Earth's atmosphere, and reaching us.

Storytelling and Science:

Explain how we're going to understand this concept better by creating a dialogue-driven story where our main character is a photon of light named "Lucy" traveling from the Sun to the Earth.

Using SoCreate:

Provide a brief walkthrough of SoCreate to the students. Show them how to create a new project and how to add dialogue, actions, and scenes.

Scriptwriting Activity:

Now, let the students create their own scripts on SoCreate. The scripts should revolve around the adventures of "Lucy" as she makes her way to Earth. Here's an example:

Sharing and Discussion:

After students have written their scripts, invite them to share their scripts with the class. Facilitate a discussion about Lucy's journey and the concepts of light travel.
