Week 10/2-10/6

Last week, students completed their multimedia campaign that addresses the issue of dress codes in order to persuade and challenge the reader to make a change. Many students created a Google Slidedeck and then used Screencastify to create their videos by recording their computer screen. While others decided to create their multimedia campaign using PowToon or even the more advanced video editor, iMovie, to create their videos. I can't wait to see these campaigns finished--they are going to be awesome!

This week, students are going to learn how to create an annotated works cited (it includes a summary and evaluation of the sources) to add to their project and then self-assess their overall multimedia campaign using a rubric. Students will then critique the multimedia campaigns using Blogger and reflect on the process using Flipgrid--all of this will be added to their blogs for you to see (click here for their blogs)!
