My 2nd Video--Missing Audio

Please check out my 2nd video! I really had a more difficult time this time using movie maker since I had used photostory prior to this. I was sick during the making of the video so the audio will be added later this week. Please let me know if the content looks good, transitions, and so on.

The video can be found on youtube here:

Outline for my 2nd Student-Audience Video

Making social studies come alive is very difficult without the ability to show students actively learning, which is the main issue working in NYC. As part of the contractual obligations, NYC teachers are not allowed to use students photos or videos in any public forum.

This posed a problem to me with the first video and now with the second.

My topic is: The Civil Rights

My goal is to combine a lesson on human rights vs. civil rights with a short quiz which would allow teachers to use this in an actual review lesson.

Human Rights vs. Civil Rights (title page with credits)

I am going to find images of various civil and human right violations (creative commons license) and explain the background history of a few major violations in history (world vs. American)

I will show some slides of the information written in powerpoint in order to highlight the information. This will allow students time and information to take notes on.

Once I am done explaining the ideas, I will show a quiz with 5 review questions (my assessment).

I will explain to students in the video how it should be scored and offer some more places they could study the material for the upcoming exam on the Civil Rights Movement in America.

I will try to incorporate music from the various eras, but will be mindful of creative commons licensing.

At the end, there will be a page with credits and one of the music genres I explained.

How to Format a Paper

I was asked by a few of my students how to correctly format their EXIT project paper for my assignment. I told them I would do a screencast and publish it to youtube. My students were shocked that I was able to do that so I decided to post it to my webpage for their class.

New Video Ideas

Due to time constraints, I have thought about narrowing down my ideas to one single cause for war in America (how we got involved). I am entitling it The Cycle of Imperialism and the United States. I will quickly overview how the United States was a colony and how George Washington warned us not to get involved in foreign affairs. I will then cut to a short overview of how we conquered the Native Americans and ultimately wanted to play with the big countries (Britain, France, Spain). This will lead the students to an understanding of how we got involved in wars like Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, and so on.

My intent will be to allow students to understand the cycle that we were forced into without regard for our forefather's advice.
