There are no human characters, only animal, plant, and unknown types. This avoids the issue of whose ethnic group is being represented. The personalities, though, are easily recognizable among one's friends, classmates, and teachers. Depending on your group, you may want to think about whether or not it's a good idea for students to use the names of their classmates in their productions. Let's look at a sample episode.
Students can now choose from a range of actions for their characters.
Clicking on the actions icon brings up a scrolling list. Selecting an action causes the character to perform it and adds it to the screenplay. Students can add dialogue for Sid, choose another action, or click on another character to add action and dialogue. The array of sound effects is impressive, with categories from Animals to Weather. Each category has a wealth of choices, all of which students can experiment with and learn vocabulary from.
