Thank you to Albert Ngo, Frank Maggi, and Jennifer Walters.Yearbook Ad #3 Script

Sham Wow Yearbook Ad
This commercial was inspired by the Sham Wow/Slap Chop Pitchman and was shot in a few hours. Christian W. did a fabulous job as our BVMS "Pitchman"!
Civic Helicopters
This movie was shot by my brother Michael and me. We did not have access to a very good tripod and many shots had to be handheld due to the constraints of the cockpits. This movie was edited by Mark Schlaefli, a certified helicopter instructor with Civic Helicopters.
Yearbook Ad for Back-to-School Night
This ad was made for our Back-to-School Night at Bear Valley Middle School. I had issues with audio but hopefully the ad can be effective. So please buy a yearbook.
Cam Stevenson's It's Just That Simple Movie Making System
Created by Heather Peterson and myself, this video was made with the intent to give teachers and students a basic overview of video production. Armed with a 21 page script, it was shot over the summer in 2008. We feel honored that this video won the 2009 California Student Media Festival Elementary Teacher Video Award as well as the 2009 IVIE Teacher Video Award. Many thanks to our families and friends for their help in creating the world's cheesiest video.
The Legend of Four Horns
Using what was learned about Lakota names from the selection "A Boy called Slow", the students were asked to create a story about how Four Horns might have gotten his name.
iREAD Garageband Assignment
The
purpose of this lesson is to teach prediction and questioning skills. Before the Houghton-Mifflin selection
is read, the students will import pictures from the story into Garageband. The students will then record any
questions they generate while viewing the slides. The students will then create another track and record
predictions while viewing the slides. The Questioning
track and the Prediction track can then be viewed as isolated tracks in order
to allow others to view project.
This project posted has been stretched out in order to showcase three separate tracks.
This example demonstrates the student making predictions.
This example demonstrates the student asking questions about the selection.
This example demonstrates what the student has learned after reading the selection.
Here is a screen shot of the project.
iREAD Keynote Assignment
In my class we worked on a
Vocabulary Keynote from the Houghton-Mifflin selection, “Katie’s Trunk”. The students first found the
definitions of the vocabulary words from the selections. They then created their own Keynote
presentation using the words. Via
iChat I sent them pictures to choose from. For every slide they then wrote a sentence that referenced
the photo using the vocabulary word. This lesson can be used for any grade level above second grade. Our next project will use photos to help the students summarize the story.
