Look at the films and think about what you’ve learned about making films.

You’ve figured out what your movie will be about, now you need to plan what you will film. You need to fill out a storyboard to plan what you will be showing in your film.

Our goal this week will be to produce a podcast, or online radio show. We start with a script. Here are some suggested ideas.
We will do two stories thanking folks at Orrick for the uniform shirts, and
talking about upcoming Parent Conferences
Here are some other topics we could cover:
- Red Ribbon Week
- What’s new about Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth Grade?
- What have we learned?
Please send me a note with two stories (the ones listed above, or you r own suggestions) that you think we should cover. Tomorrow, script writing…
