UPDATE:
Video was a huge success at Back To School Night. We received word that Kate Tabor, over at “Living on the Lip of Insanity” was inspired by our video and created one with students taking her Autobiography and Memoir class.
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIgzjve26J0
Fantastic video and glad we were able to spark the idea!
So since we ran out of time, I am emailing the details of your HW. Read this and be prepared for class on Thursday.
Our class on Thursday will be to video tape our version of the video 3 words to the world.
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1EJyXXw7_8
Come prepare to crank it out on Thursday because it needs to be ready by that afternoon for US Back to School night. It will air on the large screen in Warner Theater and on the info wall in Kingsley and the kiosks.
It will also be on YouTube.
You need to have your 3 words, any props or signs or other visual materials you wish to incorporate and 1 shot to video tape it. What we get on our first take is what we will put together. It will allow for each to get downloaded and for a song to be used as the background.
The second part of your HW is OPTIONAL. It is to come in with a song suggestion for the background music. These are optional creativity points (You are welcome Mr. Hilbert, consider that a result of your suggestion “foster creativity”). If the class reaches consensus on your choice, I will add 50 points to you average. Email me your choice, I will create a playlist in iTunes and we will listen to them in class on Thursday to decide.
We have done a ton of talking in class, but here is your chance to actually say something. The challenge is, you only have 3 words. Make them good. I am going to start raising the bar so if you are sitting back thinking, I can live with this. Everybody needs to bring their A game. This is NOT a dress rehearsal or a scrimmage.
Email me questions or visit Mash to post class questions/dialog.

Well that wasn’t worded very well…
“Can we send this link out to the school in an e-mail?”

There you go Brian. I have yet to get someone to step up and do it. I see an opportunity squandered. Any ideas on how we should do it?
