"We were there" assign / notes  / pix / script  / video / rubric /  saving instructions

What was it like to be present at the greatest events of the Civil Rights movement? Here is your chance to tell the story from the perspectives of people who were there - first hand. In this assignment, partner teams will research, write, record, and produce a 1-2 minute video telling the story of one of the major events of the Civil Rights movement. Your video should provide some context, tell the story of the event, incorporate primary source material, relate the impact of the event, and tell the story with images and vocal. You will be using Windows Movie Maker to complete your final product, and you and your partner should use your wiki(s) to organize your notes and images, write your script, create your video, and publish your video online.

Check the examples that I have provided and use the following guidelines ...


 * NOTES -** Use at least one print resource and one online resource to take notes about your topic of choice. your notes should become a page on your Unit 8 wiki, along with the citations for the sources - "We were there" notes
 * IMAGES -** Find 5-10 images that help you tell the story, keep them in a folder on a shared space or a flash drive, and list the citations on a wiki page - "We were there" pix
 * SCRIPT -** Collaborate on a script for a 1-2 minute first hand account. It should be told by two people, so it follows a "we were there" format - "We were there" script
 * VIDEO -** Using Movie Maker, you will make a short video with your narrated script and images to tell your story. "We were there" video


 * RUBRIC -** Make sure you check the rubric for your final product!
