Assignment: Final Project Part 1: Review Rubric in the Appendix section of your Syllabus. Your final project due in Week 8 will be to create a full instructional video (3-5 minutes). The first part of your assignment (due this week) is to create a plan for what your video will include. This is called a storyboard. When you have your own students complete storyboards, it’s a great way to give them a chance to complete a writing activity in connection with a video project.
Determine the project idea.
Complete a storyboard for the project. You can create a storyboard in any word processing or presentation tool. You can also just use this storyboard from us(Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. The critical things you need to put on your storyboard before you turn it in are
your instructional objective (what do you want your students to know, feel, and do?
(movies only) visual representation of what will happen in each scene of the movie (stick figures, clipart, whatever). If you are using photos, you should have these collected and can embed these in your storyboard. If you are using live video, just some notes about what you want the actors to do in different scenes.
a script for what the narration will say, or what the actors will say. Make the script concise and to the point so your project is more engaging!
Collect images, video, and music for your project. Store these in a folder on your key drive or computer (remember to back them up!).
