A MOTION GRAPHING STORY
BY JENNIFER PALMA-PALACIOS
2ND BLOCK
Jimmerson the Tank Engine was enjoying a
lovely day. Upon glancing at the clock,
however, he realized that he would have to
leave soon if he wanted to do his work on
schedule.
Jimmerson chugged back 15 km at the
casual pace of 90 km/h, and reached his
destination – the sheep farm!
Jimmerson arrived at the farm, stopped,
and watched as people loaded their woolly
coats into the train cars. The sheep were
very feisty and cold. It took 30 minutes, but
Thomason was a very patient train.
When the bundles were finally strapped
down, Jimmerson headed off towards the
fabric processing plant at a steady pace
of 15 km/hr. After 20 minutes, Jimmerson
had completed the 5 km trip to the plant.
Jimmerson let the workers unload all the wool
while he took in the sights. The place was
actually very new to him, so he decided to
stay for a while (30 minutes to be exact) and
watch the grass. Jimmerson was lame.

He had chugged 10 km in 10 minutes!
Jimmerson was exhausted, but he rejoiced
that all his deliveries for the day had been
made; he puffed slowly back home at a
nice steady 7.5 km/h and traveled 5km
back to the shed in 40 minutes. He was
glad to be home!
