Yesterday, you should have finished your newscaster video and your final copy should be turned in. I only know of two of you that actually met that deadline! This truly is not acceptable, because those of you that did not get finished were wasting so much of your time earlier. You can not waste so much time on filming or thinking "Oh, there is plenty of time," when you are not even half way done with your project. Most of you took two and a half weeks to do the first five tasks on a list of fourteen things to do. This is why you were given a checklist, so you could pace yourself!
Your next project is going to be fairly simple, but it will require planning. You are going to create a movie and then do an "audio dub" or narration of the movie. You are going to create what I call a CommonCraft movie. This is a movie that uses pictures, normally hand drawn, to illustrate ideas while the narrator explains how something works. They are fairly simple, are easy to fix with basic editting, and then you can read your script into a microphone. The timing between what you say and your images can actually be fixed by simple film cutting.
First, you must choose a subject. Think of a Science concept such as one of Newton's laws; or something from Social Studies like explaining the Battle of Gettysburg; or you can choose how to do something that you can physically do well, such as play soccer, and explain that. Take the time to look at an example from CommonCraft (I recommend the zombie or the election ones).
Keep in mind that people actually make a living doing these movies and selling them. They are quite effective at teaching something to people.
What do you think about your next assignment? What will you be planning on doing?

probably.... do something creative or soo. im not suree but i think it will be better then the first ones.
well on our next thing we work on we going to do better and get it finshed faster and not work on it for a long time like always. But should also be fun because the work is always boring.
i looked so good!bring it on.
I think you better bring it on cause im ready.I think we will be doing a home video.
Well I think that its a good idea.But it also keeps getting harder and harder.Though we have too learn.Umm, I don't know what topic I am going to do it in,but probably Social Studies or something else.
umh i think its a nice idea that way people that might need help with something that you did your project is they can come to you so you can help them;; it seems hard because i really don't know yet what i want to do it about ;;
