First Video Review Completed

Well done to Gresa and Vlera for being the first students to complete their video review- excellent stuff girls! Remember, you can choose the format- you can have a mixture of you talking and on screen text, or can edit it to include animations or clips from dramatisations of the novels. You could film youself making a mindmap and talking the viewer through it like this video by the RSA. Be creative! One way you could present it is by using Prezi- (here is a link to one I made for a year 11 lesson). It is a more effective presentational tool than Powerpoint in many ways, as it shows the links between details and the big picture.  If you are able to find a way to put your Prezi onto youtube with you narrating it, then you are far more adept at technology than me. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

REMEMBER,  YOU MUST GET YOUR PARENTS TO WATCH THE VIDEO AND WRITE A PERMISSION NOTE IN YOUR PLANNER BEFORE YOU UPLOAD IT!
