Procedure
•
Collect information, pictures, music, and video over your topic
(It would wise to save everything in a folder)
•
Record your newscast on camera (all laptops have a built in
camcorder) and download the newscast to i-Movie. The
camera must be a digital camcorder and have the ability to
hook up to a firer wire. I can help transfer video if needed.
•
In i-Movie you will cut film, apply pictures, add text, and
incorporate music to the final product.
Directions
• The broadcast will not exceed 10 minutes and not
less than 6 minutes.
• To help your time commitment you must incorporate at
least 2 commercials. The commercials must be
school appropriate and contain information about
the country or a product sold by that country.
• Only one country can be used per class.
Directions
• This is an out of class project, you will be allowed to work on
this during free time but the majority will come from out of class.
• Once a week I will ask you to break into your group to
evaluate were you are at.
• You will be given grades several times throughout the
semester.
Directions
• I will be available for help before and after school. Once you
have it recorded I will help you download the video if
needed.
• You will grade each individuals performance within your
group.
• If problems arise come and visit with me. The Producer
oversees the new cast and needs to take a leadership role.
