Video Project
12th Grade American Government
Assignment: create a short video 5-10 minutes showing the importance of one of the amendments from the constitution. Be sure to include what the amendment is, how its used, and why its used. This project will be started in class but the majority of the filming and editing will be done outside the classroom.
Schedule: Monday Introduce Project (show examples from years past) Assign Groups
Tuesday allow them to work in their group and have them show you a story board for the end of the class/approval of topic
Wed-Friday normal classroom topics no filming work. No classroom time is given because filming must occur outside the classroom and monitoring 25 seniors would be impossible and for a new teacher you don't want any problems during a fun assignment.
Monday- View Videos
For the success of this project the school where you're at must have access to video cameras and computers with editing capability, if not this assignment is impossible. This project is also based on out of classroom work so it must be assigned to a class that will have fun with it but still take it seriously and get the work done. This is a type of assignment that will draw a lot of attention if something goes wrong so you have to make sure nothing does.
