PODCAST
Your Podcast is due by the end of next class, but remember, we start GMetrix back up on Wednesday.
To turn it in you need to create a file I can listen to it on. This means a .WAV, .MP3, or another file type that I can open.
To export the file out of iMovie, click the button in the upper right corner:
Click EXPORT FILE
In the pop-up box:
Change the FORMAT to Audio:
And then change the File Format to WAV or MP3.
Click NEXT
Rename the File to the name of your Podcast. Please include at least one member of your teams name in the file name. For example:
Talkinboutlife_Reeves
Save it to your desktop
Come get a USB drive from me and put the file you just saved onto it and bring it back to me.
DONE!!
Final Exam Instructions
I hope you didn't wait till the last minute to do this, it could take some time.
You will need to take your project and convert it into an .MP4 or a .MOV file.
When the movie is finished exporting - it could take 5-10 minutes or more. It MUST have a .mov OR MP4 at the end of the final designation, ex. Reeves_Final.mov, if it does not look like that, you will need to do it again.
When it is finished, get to a file view mode that you can see how big the file is. It should be something like 40mb to 200mb. If you have something smaller than 30mb or something larger than 200mb, you have something wrong and it needs to redone properly.
Once that is done, you have three options that I am aware of to turn in your final exam.
1. You can get a thumb drive from me and download it there. Make sure you name it properly: Last Name_DM Final Exam
It needs to be a .mov or a .MP4 file
2. You can get it onto your Google Drive and share link with me via your Google Site. You will need to make sure you come tell me that it has been shared. Make sure you share it properly so that ANYONE WITH THE LINK CAN VIEW
3. Share a link to a YouTube channel where you have put your final exam.
The criteria is pretty basic and getting something done will get you passing grades:
1. The video is between 60 and 90 seconds
2. You "tell a story" or "a sequence of events"
3. There is some sort of sound
4. There is someone in the film (an actor)
5. You must have turned in a storyboard and script/outline
6. It must have been shot away from school (-20 if you shoot on campus)
7. It must be in a form I can watch on my computer - see below for more information (-10 points if I have to watch it on your device)
This will get you at least a 70. Of course quality is important, so the better the creation is, the higher the grade you will get, up to an 85.
To get a grade higher than 85, you need to bring in other elements, like a title, credits, still photos, or some sort of special effects. That portion of the grade is with up to 15 points.
EXTRA CREDIT
There are two separate ways to earn extra credit today. For each, I will do the following:
1. Add points to your final exam
2. Add points to your overall semester grade
I will determine which will help you the most and apply it appropriately.
Here are the two assignments, you can do both, either or none, it is up to you:
1. Teacher letter – write a letter to an important teacher you had this year. You can choose anyone you want that is a member of the Bowie faculty and staff. I prefer that these are hand written, but I will take a digital version that I print. Make a new Google doc, title it Teacher Letter and share it with me. I will print these letters out, so you can put them in an envelope and I will take these to your teachers. Please write at least 300 words.
Write a greeting, paragraphs, a closing (Sincerely, or Yours, or Thank you) and your full name. Tell them what they meant to you. Give specific examples and details!
If you need some help, here are some prompts:
“You might not know it, but…”
“Even though you ________, I want you to know that _________ “
“I think the most important lesson I learned from you was…”
“The thing I respect most about you is….”
“One time, when I was _________, you _______ and I……”
“I have a hard time with _______, and you helped me _______”
“I know you ______, but for my classmates and me, it ________”
“I appreciate it when you ____________”
“It means a lot to me that you take the time to ____________”
“When I look back on __________, I realize that you ___________”
2. Personal letters - Make a new Google Doc, title it Personal Letters, and when you are done share it with me correctly so I can print it. You will need to send it via email. You will need to do both to get full credit.
Letter 1 – write a letter to yourself that you will read the first week of school next year. Please write at least 300 words. Here are your prompts to reflect/write:
I did a lot of great things last year that should be repeated: (think of at least 4)
Here are some things to remember: (think of at least 4)
Remind yourself of something that didn’t go so well in school this year and tell yourself how to avoid them in the future. Explain how you worked around the problems.
Letter 2 – write a letter to yourself that you will read in 10 years. Please write at least 300 words. Here are the prompts for that letter and you can start with this:
This is me 10 years ago. I’m sure I’ve forgotten all about this email by now, and I’ve probably forgotten a lot about who I was in 2025. I’m sitting in my digital media class final right now and Mr. Reeves is making me write to myself in the future, so hello future me, I hope everything is great in your life right now.
