PSA Project: Day 3; Autobio/bio Project: Day 2

Please continue working on your PSA project. See previous post for details. Start filming, particularly if you have not yet started filming. Please use the time in class to film, edit, or compile your commercial/PSA, if possible.

Finally, please plan with your partner(s) and create a time line to complete your project by next class!

If you have new footage, please upload that footage and continue your editing process.

You will want to have a brief title/credit page either in the beginning or ending of your PSA/Commercial. This is usually not typical for the Ad Council (although their name appears on their work). Get the credit you deserve!

Remember to separate your group responsibilities. If only two people are filming, the other member(s) of your group can be researching/selecting music or still photos to use in your commercial, etc.

The project is due Wednesday next week!

Biography project:

Biography documentaries...(hint, hint...) If you find yourself sitting and doing nothing, check out the link and explore. You may spend time (if you have already completed your PSA work--or need a break--reading your autobiography/biography.

As you read your biography or autobiography, be ready to write a short bio for your subject. You will be asked to create a short (:30 sec, - 1 minute biography documentary for your chosen subject/reading). Feel free to use the graphic organizer to help you gather your research as you read your biography. Aim to complete your biography/autobiography reading (and note taking) by the end of Spring Break.

HOMEWORK: Read your biography/autobiography. As you read, consider how the author represents his/her subject. How does the author organize the narrative story and information about the subject in this book? Consider why certain information is shared, but other information might not be. What secondary sources are used to "tell" the story (photos, memoirs, diaries, articles, etc.?)

Be prepared to complete and turn in your PSA/Commercial project by next class.
