Dear 5th Grade Students– Does it feel like we’ve been working on your “All About Me” movies for months? Well, guess what? We have! Since each class only meets once a week for 45 minutes, progress on the movies has been slow but steady. You do know the story about the tortise and the hare, right? (**Spoiler alert!**) Slow and steady wins the race! Over the past ten classes or so we’ve: Brainstormed movie ideas using Inspiration. Gathered important photos from the Internet and from home, as well as snapped some pictures of ourselves and our friends. We’ve pieced together the parts of our movies in iMovie, put in opening titles and ending credits, composed original soundtracks in GarageBand… what else?
I know this project has a lot of bits and peices to keep track of. So, to help you out I have made this handy-dandy checklist for you. When all of the items are checked off, your project will be finished. Hopefully this will be in about two weeks. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything done! We will use class time to wrap up loose ends and get everything finished.
All About Me Movie Project Checklist
Does your movie have…
- At least twenty photos?
- At least two photos of YOU?
- Photos of your family?
- Photos organized by topic?
- It overall shows who you are?
- A title slide at the beginning?
- At least two “category” slides?
- Credits slide at the end?
- Correct spelling on all words?
- Music?
- Music ends at movie’s end?
- One track of music YOU played?
- Music fits with movie’s style?
- Transitions between slides?
- Pacing: ~3 seconds per slide?
Whew! I know it sounds like a lot, but most of you have almost all of these things done already. Remember, I always keep my classroom open for you during your lunch time. Come down after you eat for some extra work time or one on one help. See you soon!
Sincerely, Ms. Hansen
