When you work on your project this week, make sure you review the requirements in the assignments section of the class website.

Work on your science fair projects if you have not completed them.

Ask for any assistance you may need in preparing your final project.

 

What will you make your project about?

In Creative Writing, the two main things that are taught are the software programs iMovie (Windows Movie Maker on  a PC) and Keynote (Microsoft PowerPoint on a PC).
For this journal entry, write down what you would like to create a slide show and/or a movie about.

If you need ideas, check the ideas for projects tab above or click this link.

The movie of your life

You are a star without a movie, but what if that changed and someone wanted to make a movie out of your life, who would be in your movie?

Name a list of people that are a part of your life that would also star with you in that movie.

In your journal, write the names of the people

that would star in the movie with you and

their roles in your life, think of at least ten

people.

Give specific details about each person

explaining why they are important.

And finally, give a title to your movie.

Example

The movie of my life.

by Mr. Loreto

starring

Mr. Loreto as David  Loreto

My mother as Mom

My father as Dad

Jeannette as my sister

Emil as my brother

Nanay and Tatay as my grandparents

Vince as my favorite cousin who had all the Transformer toys

Bob as my guitar playing pre school teacher, he is so cool

Mrs. Noble as my first grade teacher and the woman who taught me “a little dab will do ya”

Torian as my first best friend

Matt as the kid I ate my lunch with my first day of school

Mrs. Landwehr as my fourth grade teacher who thought I was smart

Mr. Kissamis as my middle school teacher and coach who made me want to write

Dr. Yates as my high school teacher who made me want to read

The title of my movie would be “Remix” because I am always trying to re-invent myself and do things better.
