ProjectCells


 * Project Cells ** Over the next several weeks you will be working to create a video book or slide show that explains the basic concepts being studied. Below you will find some resources, ideas and reminders to help you complete your project.

**Editing Rubric** [|Storyboard_Template1.jpg] [|Storyboard_Template2.jpg] [|Free Audio Files] //The clip below might be an example of how a chapter about characteristics of living things might start. Note that this is only a sample of one way to present information. (Note: Your presentation will be more creative as I did mine in one night and you have just under a month!)// It takes a little while to load, just be patient. media type="custom" key="5403137"
 * Resources**


 * Ideas**
 * Make sure to set up recording times with teachers ahead of time and be clear as to EXACTLY what you want them to do. After creating a time to meet, BE THERE AND ON TIME WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED!
 * Always record extra work because it is MUCH easier to cut a file than it is to record another one!
 * Use Garageband to do interesting things with your voice, like for different characters. Make sure that we can still understand what is being said!
 * When recording your voice, make sure the input level is turned high so we can hear you!!
 * You can use colors to group information. For example, you make have all key vocabulary for a chapter in a specific color or you may have the background for all slides of a chapter a certain color. (Make sure that all letters are big enough and easily read!)
 * You could make some part using Keynote, export is as a movie file and input it into your iMovie.
 * If doing a Keynote, use the appear/disappear and order of appearance functions wisely.
 * Make one chapter a comic or a clay animation. Be sure it is obvious you spent time on all creations!
 * Have fun with the project! :)

//Checkpoints// (Each checkpoint is worth 10 points towards you classwork grade. Together, all 4 checkpoints are about equal to 2 lab grades!):
 * Reminders**

 * 1) Make sure to name your file correctly (ProjectCells) and place it into my drop box by the start of class.
 * 2) Export iMovie files by choosing SHARE and Export using QuickTime. Remember that this will probably take at least 40 minutes to do so make sure you have double checked everything for perfection, that you give yourself enough time to export the file AND that you have time for the file to copy into the drop box. (Lunch time the due date might be enough time to copy into the drop box, but will definitely not be enough time to export your file!)
