I really like to start my lessons with a thinking activity or something that gets the students to discuss ideas. This activity is inspired by the Thinking Routine Zoom Out where students are revealed just a small part of an image and then a bit more as if a camera is zooming out, but instead of revealing the whole image, I'm just spotlighting different sections of the image.
This can be done really creatively through Keynote and Magic Move.
By using the subtract tool in Keynote where you subject one image's shape from another shape, you can create a spotlight which when combined with Magic Move, allows you to make an animation that looks like it is moving across your slide.
Check out this video instruction which hopefully explains it clearly (transcript is available with the video), and my sample of the Bayeux Tapestry is attached below.
