Complete

I have viewed about 98% of the videos!! They turned out great. I would love to share them with you but I won't do that here on the blog. You can ask your child and they should be able to show you their video atleast. We will be having a test within the week. It could be Friday, Tuesday at the latest. Please be sure to check back here for the study guide.

Rock Cycle Video Project

Today we officially started the video Rock Cycle Project. Here are the guidelines:

  • Students are to create a video presentation on The Rock Cycle. Can be a song parody, original song or rap, a theater skit, puppets, etc... Be creative!!!!
  • They can work in partners up to four people (they can be from different classes)
  • Must be at least 45 seconds in length
  • All partners must be involved... either holding the camera, acting, or directing (if doing a lego project)
  • Submitted on flash drive, emailing me, or even uploading on You Tube for me to search. (I will not be putting these on You Tube)
  • Due January 21... BUT it can be turned in at any time before then
Excellent video samples can be found on You Tube by searching: The Rock Cycle Song or Rock Cycle Lego.
