Introduction and Background Video

Instructions: 

Using the readings assigned for class in the "Introduction and Background" unit and any other outside research (of credible sources), you will create a video that emphasizes the introduction and background to the Bible. You may select your focus; in other words, you do not have to (and should not try to) cover all of the material that we will discuss in the first three weeks of class. Before you begin videoing, I suggest that you write at least an outline of your main points. 

• With any device/program/app, create at least a five-minute (5 minute) video. This video should have the ability to be uploaded to YouTube.

• Upload video to YouTube. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS HERE BEFORE UPLOADING. 

  • You will need a Google account, which would be your school email address (it comes with access to Google sites, so you should not have a problem here).

  • Once you are signed into your Google account, if you are unfamiliar with YouTube, click here for instructions on how to upload your video. 

  • You may use the "Unlisted" privacy setting. 

• Turn in link on Google Classroom assignment by deadline. 

Videos may: 

• be in any format. It can simply be a video of you "lecturing" or you may choose a different method. 

  • Examples: audio on top of video/images; video of you; presentation with audio over the top, etc.

• be longer than five minutes. 

• be organized or designed in any way.

• be as creative (or not) as you like.

• include the use of any props or other visuals that you like (particularly if you know how to edit your video to include them).

Videos must at least include:  

• direct quotations from a minimum of two readings assigned in class.

• a Works Cited with a minimum of five entries (should include all sources, not just those directly quoted, either in a slide in the video or in the description section of the YouTube page).
