Criterion B
Each of the English A students wrote a script but not the final one yet, the final one is due on Friday
List of materials needed and where to get them;
1. Camera that has good sound toning and effects
2. The script that is well-proof read and edited
3. Costumes for the actors and actresses to wear
4. Extra props needed
Most of these materials will come from my house. I’ll be bringing the camera and the script printed and extra props but for the costumes if possible maybe the actors can wear their clothing. If not then I can bring in some or they can just bring in their own.
I can’t evaluate the script just yet because the final one is not written, although the rough draft does fit the design specifications. The rough draft is funny and interesting to read. It is also clear and simple to read. It isn’t that hilarious but I’ll try to make it funny as possible and try to make it appeal to the modern viewers.
I’ll be editing and re-writing the script again before Friday and will be editing the blog for criterion B.
Questions;
1.Track of all the changes I made along the way
2.Explain in detail why I created the final script in the way I did?
3.How does it fit your design specification?
4.Put the final script on the blog
Design Specifications;
The script has to be very easy and clear to read
The actors have to be good actors
The idea has to be clear
The product should be fun and interesting
1. The script is easy and clear to read becuase it is written in a script format
2. I have thought about who should act out who but they're not chosen yet
3. The basic idea is clear and it's easy to understand
Explain why i created the script the way i did;
I made it the way it is beucase i thought it would appeal to the modern viewers. Also because it was the only idea that popped into my head.
The final script fits very well with the design specifications.
Right now i can't upload the final script becuase the file was accidentally deleted so, i'll have to type it up again...

Research+ Design Specification+Test+More questions
For this project we/ I need to research
-How to video and film
-The background research of the book
-Talk shows
-T.V (news)
-Movies
What kind of video have you decided to create?
At this point no one is sure becuase there has to be a script first, but what i do know is that it will be funny and amusing.
what materials will you need?
The basic electronics like a camera, script, costumes and setting(props)
which students will do which jobs? Will you have teams?
At this point i'm not entirely sure but when the script is written, then i will choose the groups and actors. For my script i need very dramatic and obnoxious people. One idea is to dress a guy as a girl and make him act very loud and posh. This will be what modern day viewers would like. In my opinion i think it is better to have teams then things will be way organized.
Design Specifications;
The script has to be very easy and clear to read
The actors have to be good actors
The idea has to be clear
The product should be fun and interesting
Test:
Once I have created the video i will test it on my family or other grade kids and make them watch it. If the response is good then i have achived what i needed to and if not then i might have to modify somethings in order to make it appealing.
Who will test if for you?
-Family
-Some of my classmates
-Some kids from other grades
This will be tested on about 5-6 people. The gender will also be mixed just in case the males have a different humor than the girls.
When and where will you test it?
A possibily is that i can send it to them by mail and ask for their opinions and suggestions and possible improvements OR i can get some of them together and show it to them sometime at my house or at school.

Modern Shakespeare (Investigation)
MODERN SHAKESPEARE
Investigation:
This unit is called Modern Shakespeare and the book that is based on is “Much Ado about nothing”. This is a Shakespeare’s play but it is extremely hard and boring because of the language Shakespeare uses. This unit we will basically be acting out skits. The skits will be in sorts like a talk show, video, game show and etc… In order to make this unit fun we need to know and research the basic background knowledge of how to video. We also need to research on things like T.V programs and most importantly the book. In order to make this happen all of us need to be familiar with the book and how they talk and the characters personalities. Without the background information the whole acting won’t fit to the book and the characters. It is boring to read the whole and not get anything it is better to just go on spark notes or another site and get the basic and essential ideas. Another way to get familiar with the story is to watch the movie this way the idea will get inside your head easily. Looking back it seems that we need to do a few background researches.
This unit AOI and the learner profile are Approaches to learning and Communicators. We the class chose these to because they were the best that matched well with this unit. We chose approaches to learning because we are learning something new and trying out different things such as videoing and acting as a class, as a person from long ago.
We chose communicators because throughout this unit we express ideas and information creatively. We are also using different languages. Another reason is because we are all working together as a class with each other. This will be a tough unit but also a fun and creative one too.
The final project is to act the script out that the english A students wrote and film it. The materials that would be used are things like the camera, basic stationaries, script and the computer. The unit question is "How can we create a video presentation of a Shakespeare play that will appeal to modern day viewers". The unit question relates to the project becasuse we are creating a video that is based on a play that shakespeare wrote. Not only we have to create a video but we have to make it fun that will appeal the modern day viewers.
From this unit i expect to learn how to make jokes and act them out and how to film properly and lots of things about talk shows and news. I will also learn more about the book and will become much more familiar to it than before. My experience with shakespeare isn't alot. I only read "The merchant of Venice" and that is about it. Personally shakespeare don't interest me and i don't get it easily. For me it's not only boring but hard. Although throught this project i will be able to have fun with it.
The answer to the unit question is that we have to make a video that is funny and not in a hard language. While filming we have to put in a lot of humour that the modern day viewers would like and effects. Also we have to choose a video script that is scandalous and interesting.

This project was an overall fun and interesting unit. This was not the first time I had worked on a unit like this but this unit was fun and easy to follow. The information that we had to include and the information that were required were not too much and it was easy for me to understand it and have fun with the project. Also the reason why I enjoyed this unit is because it was interesting to find out all sorts of new information’s.
Investigation
The investigating part wasn’t that hard because all the needed information was given with the sheet at the beginning of the unit. It had the necessary information such as the inventors of the invention and the date and the history behind the ball point pen.
Plan
The plan that I made this time was very clear and neat also reasonable but I was not able to follow it completely. For the first few days I had it perfectly fine but once it was the weekends I didn’t follow it completely. This made me work a bit more and made me work on it on Tuesday when it wasn’t intended to.
Create
The part when I had to create the poster was easy and simple. I started to work on it at school but wasn’t able to finish it. So, I went home and didn’t work on it during the weekends and ended up working on Tuesday. All I had to do was to print out few paragraphs and sentences and stick it onto the poster. Also add a bit more color to it and write a bit more information on the poster.
My product was a success because I was able to get it done on time with the necessary information. The test was to find out weather the ball point pen was used or not by students. The results were that 8 out of 9 people sometimes use the ball point pen and only one ticked all the time. The next question was if a ball point pen was better than a normal pen. The results are that more than a half of the people perfer ball point pens rather than just a normal pen. They said a ball point pen was better because it was softer and much comfortable. Also I found out that in every household there is at least one or more ball point pens.
This survey was to see how well used the ball point pens are from students and the results are that it is well used but there are some down sides to it. The down sides are that sometimes the ball point pen dries up or the ink clots and makes smudges. The survey was a success too because I was able to find out more facts of ball point pens and how students think about it.
For further improvement I would improve on the amount of information on the poster. I would have wanted to add a bit more on the survey results. The second improvement would be to make it a bit more attracting and flashy! Looking at other posters I found out that my poster was not too bright and attracting. The third improvement would be to add more pictures as an example or even a real ball point pen stuck onto the poster. This would have made the poster really stand out.
