ElementCommercial

Element Commercial Now that we have looked at the periodic table of elements as a whole and family by family, it's time to take a closer look at some specific elements. Throughout our exploration hopefully you found an element or two that looked interesting and that you would like to learn more (become an expert) about. Being the expert, it is up to you to share what you have learned with the rest of the class in a fun and interesting way...through a commercial! We will be taking a look at some examples from past classes, but you and your partner's challenge is to come up with your own creative way to "sell" your element. Some use costumes and props, while others use Photo Booth. Maybe inserting some still pictures could enhance your commercial? Use the directions sheet to guide you in your journey.



**Group Work Suggestions:**
 * Make a list of what needs to be done (research of information, media, slide design, etc.) and assign roles so everyone can always be working!
 * Set a timeline for when each part needs to be completed. Waiting until the last minute leads to disaster!!!
 * Do your work on time and to the best of your ability. Show enthusiasm!!
 * Ask for help from your group when you are having trouble (not when you are took lazy to try and do it yourself). If asked, try to be helpful. :)
 * Communicate daily, even if you do not have that class that day. This may just mean a 2-3 minute meeting at lunch to check in with each other.
 * Assign a speaking part to each team member (everyone much have equal responsibility) and PRACTICE!


 * iMovie Suggestions:**
 * Record your videos where there is very little extra noises around. We need to hear you!
 * Speak up when you are recording. We need to hear you!
 * Practice so you know what to say instead of reading with your head down. We need to hear you!
 * Keep your scene transitions short.
 * Only add sound effects when they fit with the script.
 * Use your storyboard as a guide for your commercial. It also has a checklist!
 * Make sure to export your movie correctly. (Share-Export Movie-Medium (size))
 * Name your file correctly. (ElementCommercial-Nameofelement)
