THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS THE EXPECTATIONS FOR THE DAY!

Our 1st semester will focus on media creation, while or 2nd semester will focus more on coding.

Regardless of the lesson, FouloisTech.info should be your destination every time you come into class. This space will be used to provide announcements, lessons, and other resources.

  1. Objective:
    1. Students will script an audio project to see how Media Arts can relate to things outside of the computer lab.
  2. Announcements:
    1. No late work for this Quarter will be accepted after Friday, January 10th!
      1. This deadline is 2 weeks before the end of the Quarter. That time is needed to ensure all late work handed in before then is graded in a timely fashion.
  1. Today's Lesson: Audio 1: 3 Sentence Story
    1. Today we begin our journey of learning to plan, record, and edit digital media.
    2. Grading Rubric:
      4 Points Story has very few spelling and/or grammatical errors. Proofread!
      3 Points Story is 3 sentences long.
      3 Points Story has a beginning, middle, and end.

      To begin, we need a story.

      Possible story hooks:

      • What did you do during vacation?
      • A comet is heading towards Earth! What does the superhero do to stop it?
      • The athlete works to win a sporting event!

      You aren't limited to just these 3 hooks, but consider them if you're having trouble thinking of a starting point.

      Next, we'll need to plan the beginning, middle and end of your story. To make this more challenging, you will need to write your story with only 3 sentences.

      With only 3 sentences to tell the whole story, you'll have to be very concise with your details.

      1. If you are in class Mr. Smith will have paper for you, but if you're working on this from home you can use this space in Canvas to hand in your work.
      2. The first sentence should be the beginning of the story. Does it mention the main character? Does it mention the event taking place? It should do at least one or the other.
      3. The last sentence (Yes, we're skipping to the end.) should reveal how everything works out. How did the athlete win? How did the superhero stop the comet?
      4. The middle sentence should be your bridge from the first sentence to the last. What happened in-between those events?
      5. Proofread your sentences and press the button to hand them in.
      6. SAMPLE SCRIPTS:
