Learning Opportunities

  1. Q3 Project 2
    1. If your Project 2 rubric is approved, you can get started when other business is concluded.
    2. If your Project 2 rubric was NOT approved, you will be working on the Podcast assignment for Project 2.
    3. IN ANY CASE, PLEASE BE CERTAIN THAT WHAT YOU HAND IN IS A WORTHY DISPLAY OF YOUR TALENTS AND THE TIME YOU HAD TO COMPLETE THE WORK.
  2. Q3 Project 3
    1. We are taking a short break from student created rubrics due to choices that have been made in and out of our classroom. Your Project 3 will be a Tutorial Video.
    2. Rubric:
      1. ► Video includes title and COMPLETE (including citations!) credits.
      2. ► Video shows how to complete a Media Arts related task with enough detail for someone to be able to follow the directions and complete a similar activity.
      3. ► Video has a TRT of 2:30-5:00.
      4. ► Video stays on topic for the entire Run Time and is free of "verbal filler" like "um," "uh," "so, like," and other common things we say when thinking of the next thing to say.
        1. (Ex: A dance interlude or discussion of your favorite Fortnite tactics would likely have you score low here. If you need to add "filler" to hit the time minimum, you picked the wrong activity for a tutorial.)
        2. "Verbal Filler" is OK in conversation but tutorials should show that planning has gone into  them, and verbal filler is what we do if we haven't first thought out our next sentence.
    3. As with all projects, START WITH A PLAN YOU'VE WRITTEN OUT! Professionals in the industry do this for good reason. Learn from their example.
      1. Script?
      2. Storyboard?
      3. Shot List?
    4. Screen Recording
      1. You are not required by the rubric as it is written to record your screen, though this can make certain tutorials much easier.
      2. The non-windows computers have a program installed called "Simple Screen Recorder."
      3. When recording at home I frequently use Open Broadcaster Studio (OBS), which is software often used by streamers. A version should be installed on the Windows computers already.
      4. Many computers can make use of https://screencast-o-matic.com/ to record their screens. You can log in with your PGCPS Google account.
  3. Podcasting: The Media Behind the Arts
    1. I have moved this overview to its own page.
  4. Exit Ticket (Auto-posted to Google Classroom at 3:40pm.)

    1. What have you done today that is worthy of your effort? Use a complete sentence to earn credit.
      This assignment is not eligible for late submission or resubmission.
