Day 1 Research
Step 1:You will be using the custom search engine above to research the copyright and fair use guidelines for your subject. Make sure to look up information on all of the words given to you.
Example:
Group 12: Mrs. H
art, amazing, fun, great, silly
I would make sure I looked up all the copyright and fair use guidelines for art, amazing, fun, great, and silly.

How do you know that the information you are getting from the internet is good information? Read this before you start researching,
 Five W's of Website Evaluation. When you are finished reading use this internet citation checklist.

Step 2: Give each member of your group a word to research. Make sure you are taking notes and citing your sources in a word document. The notes and sources will be turned in for a grade in the end. Group members may have to do more than one word. Pair up if there is an uneven amount.

Day 2 Prepare to make video
Step 1: After your group is done researching, you will be creating a three minute long explanation video in "common craft" style about your subject. Go to commoncraft.com to watch some example videos. Watch the video below to help you get started.
Step 2: Follow the steps in the video to begin creating your own video.
Recap:
     a. Break down your research into simple ideas
         Create a bubble map and have everyone in the group share in 
         key ideas about their words.
     b. Come up with a list of pictures you will need to illustrate your   
         ideas.
     c. Create your paper cut outs. Remember five inches tall and bold
        dark outlines works best!
     d. Write your narration
     e. Practice your narration and moving pieces in and out.

Step 3: Write a script. Each group will need to hand in a script so make sure one of the group member is typing it up. This can be done while other group members are working on the illustrations.

Day 3-Shoot Video
Step 1: Choose jobs for group members during video shooting.
  • video
  • 2 move in and out
  • narration
Step 2: Shoot Video. It is okay if you have to do it a couple times!
