Goal for the day: To understand the specifics of the video project competition and divide into groups.
The focus of today was getting us started on the video project. I passed out the introduction to the project with a schedule and important things to keep in mind. There are four different prompts having to do with the future of the First Amendment. People talked in small groups about which of the prompts they are most interested in.
Finding people that want to communicate a similar message is an important part of forming a group. Making sure your group has the necessary skills to complete the project is important as well. We inventoried skills that people have in class so as folks decided what groups to join they can make sure they are covered.
After break, we went through the final presentation on overpopulation even though this group was missing some of its key members.
I also passed out a worksheet with the rubric for the evaluation of the video project. I also gave people a worksheet to help groups get started with the project.
Homework for Friday, October 10th
Work on the storyboard for your project
