Qtr 2 Week 4 Day 3 UN Day Preparation

You must finish your section tonight for the UN presentation. This might mean finishing your powerpoint slide or recording and saving your video portion.  (People can record videos in school tomorrow, but what you are going to say must be completely read. Make sure you practice using PEX and BEVES). You must save the slides in the correct order on sharepoint in class tomorrow.

Use http://www.befunky.com/   to make your images/jpeg owerpoint slides amazing. Takes seconds to learn how to use. DON'T go over the top. Remember, people need to clearly understand your point in a few seconds

Look at this DRAFT video copy of a reading caption. What is being done well? What aspects need to be improved upon  for the final version?

    You have 15 seconds for a video but you use 10 seconds. There's one pause for a second at the end

    Han - I'm not sure why Mr. Buxton cannot access your blog, but I do know it's not because you haven't changed your setting so that everyone can view your blog. I tried going on it yesterday and it worked fine.

    For some reason befunky doesn't let me upload pictures.

  15. rbuxtonNovember 9, 2011 at 5:47 PM

    Rachel, make sure it is a jpeg you are trying to upload. Also, try using it in a different browser. If you using a photo from the internet, make sure you have saved it to your computer first.
    You also might need to update your java.com by going to their website and downloading the latest version.

    You can only use 10 secs. ..but go a little longer 12 or 13 secs as a video seldom picks up the first or last second.

  18. Rachel LNovember 9, 2011 at 6:10 PM

    Sabine - Yes, no eye contact and you should maybe read with the book up. As if Kindegardeners were your students, so they can see the pictures. Or atleast face the camera.

    Group 3, I got images on google docs but i still cant comment. I only found 2 pictures and the others had books with different authors and I didn't want to take things away from Eva Ibbotson. If there needs to be any improvements, just change it.

    Han and Nick, are you going to add to the powerpoint too? You need to be part of the group.

    Hey Group 3 - I put up the video DRAFT on my blog. Turn up the volume on the video (NOT your computer) otherwise it's hard to hear even though I made it loud.

    Watch the video! It goes from 9 to 11. YouTube videos and videos like these skip the 2nd last second. Even for my video it was like that. 10 seconds but one second skipped

    My thoughts exactly, Alex. (about the 11 second thing)

    okay, first of all... i like being precise, and i admit it wasn't sabines fault becuase she didn't say anything that last second.

    now... on to my problem. Which supporting detail do you think is more persuasive. i think the first one, but i want everyone to agree:

    1) Choose from 100 picture books, 40 novels, and 20 collections of fables of Mahy's for their pages of wild imagination.

    2) Can't read in English? As if that matters! Margaret Mahy's books have been published in a total of 15 languages!


    In case you need it to decide, here is the topic sentence: Margaret Mahy's books promise on and all breath-taking contents.

    The reason I need to choose is because it will take around 20 seconds to say all off it.

    aditya they are probably doing something different. just to let you know, people in that team, we are doing the presentation on the books by the author, not the author. Mr.Buxton said we just weren't supposed to focus on one book.

    Hi Mr Buxton, and for everyone who has never heard of me i was one of Mr Buxtons students last year. Anyways, i would say sentence number two is more persuasive. It includes the reader.
