Name(s)____________________________________________________________

 

Working individually or in groups of up to ______members, create a video based on the sample shown in class. ALL work must be original; you cannot use clips from movies, etc. because these are copyrighted materials. (Remember that evidence must exist which proves participation of all group members) Someone in your group must have access to a video or DVD camera. You will need to use forty-five of the 100 words found in the five vocab packets. I suggest that you allot fifteen seconds per word.  All ideas/video MUST be school appropriate. Videos will be presented in class, so you will need to bring the appropriate equipment to play your project.

Each group member will also need to type a one page paper (250 words) explaining in detail his/her role within the group, how the project was completed, and how this assignment improved his/her understanding of these words. The point breakdown will be as follows:

 

1.    Each selected word has two possible points.
