Activities for R 12/3

Tuesday and Thursday > Present Creative Gallery! Plus arrive at conclusions on collaborative document.

Today, first write a blog post > What is the status of your creative gallery? Note: think expansively. If you created a video, think about creating another. Or a Google Map story or .... Think of a gallery as including several items. But, on the other hand, if you're working hard at creating an interesting video, take your time on it, don't rush! Note: after completing your post, you'll be asked to comment on two other posts.

Second, collaborative document >

1. Same as Tuesday, with two groups.
2. Expand on a point.
3. Re-arrange as you see fit, trying to find the logical order of points.
4. Pay attention to transitions. How does the end of the paragraph/point take an idea and bring it to the next paragraph/point?

Third, work on creative gallery when you're not working on the collaborative document.

Penguins on YouTube


Multiple YouTube Examples. These are done quickly - they are just the same video copied over and over. Why not use different videos and sequence them to tell a story?
