11) Identify, describe, and explain how messages are created by components in media arts productions.

[SC2015] (4) 11 :

11 ) Investigate different ways animals receive information through the senses, process that information, and respond to it in different ways (e.g., skunks lifting tails and spraying an odor when threatened, dogs moving ears when reacting to sound, snakes coiling or striking when sensing vibrations).

This learning activity should be used as an engage activity to introduce a lesson or unit on how animals use their senses to process information and respond to it. The students will watch a humorous, wordless media arts clip of how a cat solves a problem. The students will discuss the meaning of the clip and how the cat used its senses to solve his problem.

This activity was created as a result of the Arts COS Resource Development Summit.
