Hey PS 130 Teachers,
For those of you who have participated in our video productions this year, or were wondering how it’s done, I created an online (and printable) tutorial for creating slide-show, or image-based videos in iMovie.

THE DO GOODERS COMMUNITY ACTION GROUP consists of ESL students in collaboration with other students from the P.S. 130 Community who are interested in helping animals in the community. We are starting small, at local animal shelters. We are looking for towels and blankets that are no longer used in your home.
They must be cleaned before they are donated. Please bring them to room 304 or place them in the box in the lunchroom that has been designated for this collection. This activity is already under way! Let’s make a difference in the lives of the animals that are living in shelters waiting to be adopted into a wonderful and loving home!!!!
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN A SHELTERED ANIMALS LIFE!!
OUR WEBSITE ADDRESS IS:
Highlights of what we are doing:
Giving Animals the right to be comfortable.
The animals deserve to be warm so blankets will help.
Showing care for these animals while they are in a shelter
Do fundraisers in future for these animals.

From a review I published on TheMediaSpot.org:
“The PBS Frontline documentary, Growing Up Online, is an exploration of the digital world that kids are spending a lot of time in these days. Frontline may tend to put a hard spin issues like this, but this one was SCARY… And I’m not even a parent! If this is not a fair depiction of American youth at present, one can easily imagine it in the near future. Educators take various worthy positions on the form media education should take into schools — teach about media without technology, teach about media through collaborative production (wink), etc. Whatever position you take, it is clear, evidenced by videos like this, that emerging digital technologies impact kids’ identity formation and what it means to be a citizen in our culture, and the it is the responsibility of schools to adapt to that influence one way or another.”

After we create our script, we are going to draw storyboards to plan how our video shots will look.
For an explanation of how to make your storyboards effective download this document: PS 130 Storyboarding Guide.
Also, here is a template for building a story using storyboards: Creating your Storyboards
Here are some examples of other peoples’ storyboards — look for how they use wide shots, mid shots and close ups to tell their stories:
* wrestling for a toaster (many shots)
Activities:
1. Let’s watch the PS 124 3-307 video illustration and create storyboards for their 3 shots.
2. Everyone draw 3 ‘frames’ that look like TV screens on a blank sheet of paper, and draw 3 shots that tell the story you wrote in your 3 sentence script.
