Now that we've created an animation, it's time to add something into our movie. Our spider is shocked. He's looking up at something terrible overhead. What is it? Do we know? Does he know?

 

Not yet, but we will know soon enough, and then our spider will know too. (Because we're going to put that terribly shocking thing right there above him, so he can see.) 

 

First of all, remember those old magazines and the scissors I said you'd need? Now, you need them.

 

What would a spider be shocked about? Well, he's a spider, and he's tiny and squishable, so he could be shocked over just about anything.

 

I'm going to look through my old magazines, and find some spider-shocking pictures. 

Here's what I find:

 

Now, I have a number of items here that I can "shock" my poor spider with. Find some similar "shocking" items in your own magazines. 

 

Personally, I like the foot in the shoe. I think our spider would be quite shocked to see that big foot coming down on top of him. That's what I'm going to use, at least for this first trial. Pick your favorite magazine clipping, and let's move on.
