Today's Agenda

Business

    1. Computers
      1. Shut computers down before you leave!
        1. I should not have to do that for you.
        2. Locking the screen is not shutting down.
        3. Turning off the monitor is not shutting down.
      2. I'm working on replacing the 11 year old computers, one at a time.
        1. We now have 5 Raspberry Pi computers purchased for the classroom.
        2. I've brought in two of my own Raspberry Pi computers as well as several of my older (but not 11 years old) computers from home.
        3. If everyone needs to edit at the same time, we have enough computers to do that, now.

Learning Opportunities

  1. Rubric Creation
    1. Rubric for our 3rd video, as planned in class:
      5 pts Video shows a cohesive, compelling story in 3-5 minutes, TRT.
      5 pts Video matches actions portrayed in the storyboard.
      5 pts Properly cited music is used, with permission.
      5 pts Title Card made during 10-4 classwork is used, credits thematically match the title card.
  2. Critique Day!
    1. Remember that Positive Criticism finds the good in a project. "Good job!" isn't finding the good, it's a generic statement.
    2. Remember that Constructive Criticism is advice on how to improve. "Make your story better!" doesn't suggest how to do that.
  3. Exit Ticket (Auto-posting to Google Classroom at 3:40pm.)

    1. How do you feel your score for this project will compare to your score for your first video? Explain. (Answers without explanations will not earn credit.)
  4. HOMEWORK
    1. 09-17: Create a storyboard showing a student completing the steps of making a video, starting with the script writing. DO NOT include any dialogue.
    2. 09-19: Make revisions to your storyboard, taking into account the positive and constructive criticism you collected today.
    3. 09-23: Find a song in the YouTube Audio Library that both captures the mood of your Silent Film AND is long enough to be playing throughout the finished video, INCLUDING title and credits.
    4. 09-25: Think about events in your life that you have eagerly wanted to share with others. List three of them that you would be willing to turn into videos.
    5. 09-30: Your last homework assignment had you brainstorm 3 compelling stories. Draw up 3 title cards in your notebook, one for each story.
    6. 10-2: Look over your three drafted title cards. Pick the story you think you could most easily translate into video and write a script for it.
      Also: Finish any critiques that you did not finish in class.
