Overview
Partner B must create first, then A on this assignment.
Partner B: Using 10 pages from your CA book (or A4 paper), sketch a rough idea (not in color) of your background for each of your 10 scenes in your story on a separate sheet in your CA book. If you do not have your CA book, use blank pieces of paper and paste them into your CA book. Make sure to change your angle and perspective and not have them all the same typical angle like the example below. Feel free to change the angle and add closeup shots.
For each background you have to have at least two objects moving and also have at least one 3D object (e.g. lemons tutorial) in each background scene. Color all moving and 3D objects for each background scene on your papers.
Take photos of each background and upload them to your Picasa Album (make the album public). In the caption or comment section of each photo, write your story and make sure that the story rhymes (student example).
Children love stories that rhyme! Just watch the Duck Song and notice the creative in the rhyming story. Remember that your story must incorporate the Guardian that saves the day or helps the main character learn the lesson (Excellence, Truth, or Diversity lesson that you signed up for). Again, the story must be 3-4min in length when narrated.
When finished, copy and past the Picasa Album link to the spreadsheet and then share your Picasa Album link with your partner and have them complete the following:
Partner A: Read over your partner's story text and make grammar corrections in the comments and rewrite if needed. Make sure that the story rhymes and makes sense. Then open Quicktime (help) and screen record your voice (see the screenshot below and choose Built-in Microphone) reading the story (make sure to really get into the story by being excited and changing your voice according to the characters) as you move through the Picasa Album of the story like the student example. When finished, upload the video to YT and the link to WP and the spreadsheet.
Done
Follow the formatting and content setup according to the Example.
Remember your story needs to teach a moral with a theme Bible verse. Also, at the end of all the sentences of your story, it has to rhyme (watch the good example above). Remember, your time for your story should be 3-4 minutes. When you are finished, read your story out loud (not too fast but not too slow example). After you read it out loud, put the time it took you to read it at regular speed at the top of the doc on the line after your title e.g. Foxy First Day (3:12). Make sure the time is about 3-4 min.
- CreativeI need to stress to you that your story & characters need to be creative. Creative simply means different and not predictable. Make sure your story and characters are very different from any story someone else has ever heard. The story above is very unique (characters, backgrounds, & plot). PostPost the following to Posterous:Screenshots of your storyline rhyme
- Link to your storyline rhyme Google Doc with label (e.g. Storyline Rhyme: link)
- Link to your partner's past storyline graph setup (e.g. Storyline Graph: link)
- Link to your character sketch (previous) checkpoint (e.g. Characters: link)
Comment
Before the due date of this checkpoint email this Posterous link to ask for comments and make sure they comment within 24-hours of when you email it. Email them again if they forget or don't respond. Email directions:
Email this Posterous article link to any CA student and to your partner and also share with them the Google Doc and ask them to make comments for your storyline & rhyming. To share your document with them, go to the top right "Share" button and share settings. Then choose public and click "able to edit" and get the link to share, and send them the link (they can have any email to edit the document). Give them editing privileges and ask them to insert comments in the GoogleDoc (required) by going to Insert > Comment (example of comments from a different assignment but shows the comments).
- Ask them to check the following and comment:Spelling and grammar
- Story follows the proper structure
- Character development and good descriptions/adjectives are used
- Easy to follow and understand
- At the end of the story, ask them to read the story out loud at a somewhat fast past past so that it is smooth and has flow and have them make a comment on how long it took them to read.
