English V
Friday, November 21, 2008
Our new project is in the works. I am waiting for Mr. McDermott to get back to me about Macbeth. More on that to follow...
What I would like you to do today is work on www.freerice.com
Make it a competition to see who can get the most rice in a certain amount of time or who can get to the highest vocabulary level.

Next Project:
Public Service Announcements (PSAs)
You will be working in a group for this project. I want you to choose an important social issue in today's society. Think locally or globally. You will be working on creating a SERIOUS psa to be shown in class and possibly on the school website. We can also post on youtube and teachertube. This is the one time I would like you to take this DV project completely seriously.
I am going to show you some examples (hopefully) of PSAs today in class. I also want you to get together and think over what you might want to do. Follow the links below for a story board and another sheet that you must fill out before beginning your project. I will give each group their OWN tape to use for this project and any other group projects we do. Please take care when ejecting or inserting the tapes in the cameras. If I have already given you a tape, please use the one I gave you.

You may write on any topic. If you are stumped, I can give you some ideas. Articles shorter than 10 sentences or articles that need extreme editing WILL NOT BE GRADED. Put your best effort into this one.
