March 7 assignments/Mid-term

We will meet first in Marion Center. Please read “News in a Disintegrating Reality” and come with a one-page response paper to the story. Be prepared to discuss and turn in the paper in class.

Most of the rest of our class time will be devoted to working on your Video Essays or Slide Essays; so the bulk of your video, audio and photography for this project must be ready to work with. Ideally, you’ll have enough time in class to make good headway to a completed first draft.

Again, here is a helpful tutorial on Soundslides (also Soundslides’ website has extensive resources if needed)

GarageBand tutorial

Audacity also is a free audio editor 

Your midterm grade will be based on being current with all assignments for class and an updated web portfolio with corrections/revisions to the pieces you’ve written/made so far.

Coming Up: Spring Break, followed by Google Essay Maps Field Trip to Museums

Please review and pick one more museum for us to visit after Spring Break:
