As we come to the close of the year, we are going to present what we have learned. This time
there will be a choice of presenting in class or preparing a video. Either direction is acceptable
but you must be prepared to show your video or present on the precise days. No excuses. AP
testers or those with preplanned absences need to prepare accordingly. Zeros will be given for
those who are not prepared. Please see Mrs. Mac if problems arise. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!
For a list of possible topics, please consult the other handout. We don’t need to repeat last
semester’s topics.
Step 1: Brainstorm your ideas. What do you want to present? What do you want your video to
be about? Do you work best independently or with a group? Possible topics and themes will be
assigned by Madame Mac. We don’t want 25 of the same projects. Your project proposal will
be due by Thursday, April 16th, 2015. Groups will be approved by Madame Mac. 25 points
Step 2: Outline your project and come up with a script, rough draft or concept map. This should
be very detailed and include the all the major components of your video presentation. Due
date: April 30, 2015. 25 points.
Step 3: Record your video. Most smartphones today have video cameras and Wi-Fi accessibility
that allow you to post videos to YouTube. It is preferred that you edit the video together in a
creative professional looking way. Then you will email the link to the video to
irvinemcnamara.bonnie@cusd80.com Due date: May 8th, 2015 25 points
Step 4: Present your videos to the class: On your block day May 14th, you will present your
uploaded video. No ifs, buts or my computer broke excuses will be accepted. Your parents will
not be able to email me and tell me you had a month and a half to do this project and you
refused. Just do you work by the deadlines! NO EXCUSES! IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLETE THIS
PROJECT, YOU WILL LIKELY RESULT FAIL THE QUARTER.
