Hello!

I am Ms. Dee and this is my class THE SOMOAS & ALLSTARS. CLICK on the first link to see our recent trip to Sprout.

The final Public Service Announcements are up! See the second link ((underlined)).

Also, there is more footage and pictures of our young Media Makers to come!

Trip to Sprout Studios

The students saw a the studios at sprout and were able to talk to producers about how media like tv shows are made!

This tied in perfectly with our lesson on the sometime blurry line between Real and Fiction! The students were also able to use the trip to practice a little vocabulary and see the "Media Making Process" in person.

Final Projects -PSAs The Orange squad made a Public service announcements informing other kids why they should stay away from drugs and why they should not talk to strangers.


 * They watched other PSAs and became experts on the genre.
 * Afterwards they brainstormed about issues that the world faces and chose their topics.
 * Next came storyboarding their ideas and then wroting scripts!

Each student had a chance to help direct by choosing camera angles and motions. Each each then helped to make crucial decisions in the final edits in Windows Media Movie Maker software!

It was a great way to use all of the knowledge they learned about camer angels and movements... as well as how advertisements are made from an advertiser.
