Final


Speak Video

(Script and storyboard)

This was an interesting assignment.  Since it was our final, it definitely took a lot of planning, discussion, and individual work, but the final product is pretty cool.  I've always been a pretty independent worker, but do realize the importance of group work and planning to make themes work over all our work as a whole.  This common theme with transitions was actually a lot harder than we expected.  Even though our videos had different topics and subjects, we wanted to show how we speak and communicate with people has changed since we were children and how we've become more confident in doing so.  We tried to show common themes and phrases throughout our videos so that it wasn't just the transitions that were connecting our separate videos.  Phrases like, "when I was young" or "this is how I speak."  We also used photos from our childhood and now to show how we've changed physically, but also how our communication has changed.

Honestly, this was a difficult assignment as a college student, and since we're all BYU students, it wasn't hard to trust my classmates that they'd put in their effort for our final project, but this would be a very complex and time-consuming project for in the secondary school environment.  I would like to try to use some version of this assignment in my classroom, but it would have to be more simple and less time-consuming to justify it for an English class.
