GRADE BOOK IS UP TO DATE

Many of you did not turn in Major Works Assignments or the Fences Assignment. At this juncture they are Seven and 11 Days late, respectively (which does not bode well). Tomorrow I will send parent/school communications to those who are remiss in their submissions stating that you are in real danger of not graduating. 

Pour ceux qui ont terminé toutes les missions et courir le gantelet de l'année, il y aura une récompense. Merci!

 

Bonne chance mes amis qui oserait les frondes et les flèches de la fortune outrageante!

I look forward to receiving your FINAL EXAM PROJECTS on Friday.

Final Exam Project - Due 5/13

Compose a 3.5 - 4 minute multimedia essay (video, photos, graphics, drawings, paintings, dance, and text) that answers the following question: In four  years what have you learned (no, not just in school) and has the journey been worth it?

WeVideo is probably the best free online video creation platform. There are some other decent tools on your computer:
iVideo
Windows Live movie maker

Things like animoto aren't nearly as effective, nor is photo story.

I have examples posted at: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UUdF-IdclTb3HsfGD5U2tLvQ

and here: jessupsenglish

What will you need?  a composed narrative that effective guides the viewer, photos and videos that support/communicate your assertions, and music that helps create/set mood.

When you are finished properly label your film share it to the appropriate folder:

5: 5th period

6: 6th Period

7: 7th Period

8: 8th Period
