Today, in all classes, we will be learning about generating story ideas and the power of story telling. BBC Journalism Academy outlined 10 important journalism skills and we are going to look closely at writing and storytelling through a flipped lecture that combines powerpoint and explanation. We will watch the lecture in class as a group and take a formative assessment on the content following the video. In the future, you are invited to watch these lectures ahead of time and take the quiz on your time frame. This will allow you to use class time to work on video projects using the knowledge from the lectures and maximize your class time for collaboration and editing. The quiz is timed. You have 15 minutes from the time you start to finish the quiz, so make sure you have viewed the material at least once...twice doesn't hurt either!
In addition to this sixth graders can expect to continue brainstorming on our classroom videos we will create on digital etiquette.
7th graders will continue storyboarding Planet Nevermore and share progress with the class.
8th graders will use the remainder of class time to create segments for the news this week! All content should be shared with me through google drive: [email protected].
All classes need to go to the following link and register during class for an answerpad account. This is how you will take formative assessments in my classroom. You will sign up with your first and last name using the group name and registration code I will provide in class.

You also should download the mobile website on your device to keep up with classroom activities!
