I was inspired to animate this first World Cup 1930 poster archived in the Library of Congress because I loved the font and the way shapes were used - they seem to say "move me"!
Student created Keynote animations always engage. Using shape art in Keynote, learners can design and animate their own posters for their own favorite team and delve into the history of the first World Cup. They might also trade posters with classmates explaining or recording on Keynote their choice of team and the history behind that selection.
Animated Library of Congress World Cup primary source - Title: First football world championship, Uruguay, Montevideo 1930, 15 July, August 15.

In Wikimedia Commons, I found a photograph of that first World Cup. Seems like the poster was emulating that! What do you think?

I really ♥️ this activity, Cheryl! Providing students a connection to the past, while bringing it the modern world and letting them put their spin on it? Amazing! And of course, I can't think of a better app than Keynote to bring this to life. I'm really excited to see how other educators use this idea. Movie posters, album and book covers... the possibilities are endless.
