PSA/Commercial Project: Day 2; Autobiography/Biography

Please continue working on your PSA project. See previous post for details. If you can, start filming, please use the time in class to begin filming your commercial/PSA, if possible. Otherwise, please plan with your partner(s) and create a time line to complete your project by next week!

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

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.

By the end of class today, please make sure you have made progress on your PSA/Commercial project. Make sure you know what your next steps are...if you haven't recorded your message, when will you do this? Schedule meetings with your group members. The project is due Wednesday next week!

While this is going on, we will be picking up a biography or autobiography from the library.

Biography project: (library)

Biography: a detailed descriptive narrative of a person's life. Focuses on life events (instead of a list of information) that help shape a person or personality.

Autobiography: a subjective account of a writer's life. Focuses on the memories or life events of the author writing the narrative. Also called "a memoir" when the author only accounts part of his/her life.

Please go to the library to select a biography or autobiography from the choices available. Check out your book and read it by the end of next week.

Biography documentaries...(hint, hint...) If you find yourself sitting and doing nothing, check out the link and explore.

Also: Biography (BrainPOP)

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.?)
