Storyboards have been turned in and approved. Grades for getting them in, on-time, have been issued.
Ok. The overall stop motion project is due WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4th. We will present them in class this day.
Our next graded activity will be on March 21st when you will have to show your progress so far in your movie. At least 50% of it should be finished at this point. Audio is not needed at this point.
Until then, you have this time to work on your project.
Storyboards are due this week. Tomorrow. Wednesday. Let's get them done!
Today we are working on our Stop Motion Project.
Today you're email with a link to your 7 - 10 videos is due. See the Feb 1st post.
Next week Wednesday, your Storyboards are due!
Yesterday we ironed out our timeline and figured out some items to consider when doing our stop motion. Our first task is to INVESTIGATE other stop motion examples for inspiration. With that in mind, we have come up with our first assignment.
Assignment #1: By February 14th find 10 Stop-Motion videos that you think are inspirational and are similar to a stop-motion creation that you would like to make. Each example should have a small 1 paragraph write-up included that tells what you find particularly interesting or inspiring about that video.
To turn in this assignment, create a page on your website called "Stop Motion Project" and embed the 10 videos on it. Include the small paragraph under each video regarding your thoughts on the video. (Make sure, that if you are in a group, include all your group members names on that project page!) When you're done with that, simply send me an email with the URL Link to your Stop Motion Project page.
Future Work: By February 21st turn in a proposal with a Storyboard outlining how your short film will be shot.
So, today, I will not be in class. You're responsibility is to stay on task, do your research, create your Stop Motion Project Web Page, and learn a few things.
Today we are going to start working on our movies, and make sure we got our plans down for next week and beyond.
Today we are going to work on a quick, in-class assignment. You will once again be using Google Maps for this project.
We will have you work on creating a map with Directions in it. You will need to create a map with Driving or Walking Directions to your home here in Genoa from Piazza Ferrari. We are choosing Piazza Ferrari since it is a central location and everyone should be able to find it as a starting point.
You will create a Map, figure out your directions, and save it before sending me the link to your map.
This is due by the end of class today, January 10th. Good Luck.
_Today you are going to create a personalized Google Map. You have to turn it in by the end of the period by emailing it to Mr. Z. You will have to use your Google Account to begin with, so you will need to log into your Gmail to start.
Follow these Directions:- Once in Gmail Click on <More> up at the Top. A drop down menu will appear. Click on <Maps>.
- Google Maps will open under your Account.
- Click on the Grey Button <My Places>
- Click on the Red Button (in the new page that opens) <Create Map>
- In the Title Box that appears, put in "Firstname Lastname's Map" (for example Mario Smith's Map)
- In the Description Box, give me a description of the Map that you are creating. (For example: This is a map of the vacation home that my family visits each Christmas.)
Your map can be of any location that you are familiar with, except for ISG! (I really don't need a dozen maps of ISG.) Instead you can create of map of:- A location in Genoa, like a Landmark or a favorite Restaurant, or someplace you hang out.
- Someplace that you vacation.
- Someplace that you have visited and that you are pretty familiar with.
- Your home, if you feel like it.
So, you will need to figure out a place that you want to map. You will have to zoom in and find it.- Once you have determined a place you need to insert your first marker on that place.
- Then you have to populate the map with at least 5 nearby points of interest or other attractions.
- Use some different colored markers, be creative.
- All Markers should be labeled.
- Add information about the points of interest. If that point has a website, you can insert a web address for that point. Put markers on these places.
For example, Points of Interest can be:
RestaurantsBarsStoresBus StopParkWhere you park your carand others....etc etcYou should make your map PRIVATE, and NOT PUBLIC! Make sure you click in the <Unlisted> button. Click on the <Save> button up on top to make sure you've saved everything. Now click on the blue <Collaborate>. This will open a new box where you can invite Mr. Z to view your map. In the Invite Collaborators box, you should put in Mr. Z's email address. (mr.zeise@gmail.com)Put a check-mark in <Send me a copy> (This way you have a copy of the Map in your email for your records!)
Click on <Send Invitations>Your Finished.If you would like to see a short video on how to make a Google Map, you can watch the following video. Be careful though, the initial instructions are old. The video was made before the Google Interface changed to get to Maps, so follow the instructions that I wrote above and you will be fine.
_If you have problems in trying to figure this out, ask a neighbor for help. You can also use Google to find out how, but it's pretty easy really, especially if you have watched the above video.
Good Luck.
Mr. Z
