By the end of Week One , Term Two, you need to have your own blog and on this blog you need to include the digital photos you have taken of Hamilton, [or ones you have found on the net]. If you took normal photos and have prints, you can scan them and post them. Anyone who does not have the equipment at home needed to do this can do it at school.
This must be achieved by Friday Week One.
You must then comment on this post saying your photos can be viewed on your blog.
The second task is to outline on your blog or in your topic book what your digital story is focusing on for the HamiltON inquiry project.
The third task is to create a storyboard outlining how your digital story will work. Step by step, image by image and with the text and any other explanation of what your Marvin characters might do to help narrate your digital story.
You will then create a digital story using the Marvin software. It is just like Powerpoint but with extra characters to help make your story more exciting for the audience.
The Digital story [using Marvin] must be no longer than 3 minutes in length, have no more than three Marvin characters in it, and be focused on the topic, not the use of characters or the inclusion of unnecessary actions.
The dialogue must be used sparingly to complement the written information. You must use your images of Hamilton [or those related to your personal theme] as background images.
The Hamilton inquiry, Marvin digital story, must be finished by week four of this term.
We will use the computers at school to get the work done in class time. Your homework is to upload the photos to your blog as stated at the beginning
You may include voice over narrative, music, video clips, scanned artwork, etc, for extra credit.
The best digital story will win a fabulous prize - Annick the Researcher and Elaine Her Majesty will introduce you to more information about exciting prizes and will judge the competition.
You will be competing against Room9!
Any questions?

i havent been on 4 ayges!!! ok bye:-)
i really must get on with the tasks, for i haven't taken the pictures yet. i might need to start planning my storyboard for HamiltON in my spare tome with my buddies. my goals for this task:
#1: co-operate with my buddies in this project, to produce a powerful presentation
#2: use time efficiently
#3: win the prize!
P.S this is off topic but- if you are a superhero in the kakepuku adventure, could you please state on one of my posts of how to get to the crater and escape? PLEASE?
WHINE & HOWL
good work marshall - there is a small pyramid at the top of the mountain which you can get into and find a magical vortex which can either send you back to your own time or turn you into a super hero!
:-)
My Pda's pictures are not going to be able to go into the computer, as it cant be set up to do that with out it neeeding to be on a plan1 =o( But my partner, Mupies had some phtos on her camera, so I'm al right!
Hmmm
This is off topic but Mr. Woody I'm scared about playing football because it is my first year playing.
me too!
sorry-off topic
thanks for letting me know, boys - now i know to help you through it rather than to be the ultra-mean, mega-evil coach that i normally am. :-)
you will have fun and do well.
Wow,I'll start straight away. It's just that i'm a bit busy doing stuff.
See you in class on Monday.
HamilTRON

Yup, I've got pictures of HamiltON, rosiegal 8D
Are we allowed to have video footage on our digital stories? I think you've told us already but I can't remember!!
muddy - you will be severely punished for failing to complete your kakepuku homework. i will instruct your mother to lash you brutally and i'm sure she will oblige as she strikes me as being quite an ogre. ;-)
as for videos for your digital stories, thats fine too. they just have to be brief snippets.
Hi Mr Woody do we have to have our Kakepuku finished on monday???
bye :D
I have a feeling thgat the first two weeks of term2 will be absoulute havvock! Because so many people need to do their Kakepuku and HamiltON inquiry, we may have to have a lil bit longer please!
Ok. I'm on it!!!!
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
it is not due in week one. it is due in week two. maybe the wednesday of week two to allow for the fact that you will also be working on your HamiltON inquiry project in that time period.
it is necessary to finish the story soon to allow for the term two work to begin on science fair, etc.
with all the time you have already had to work on it it should be completed as a draft anyway and just need tweaking and typing up.
the middle and end blocks of each day will be for those two projects, as well as P.E. where it is timetabled.
i shall post an explanation...
I have some pics of the HamiltON Gardens on my blog.
Thanks
;P
ive got picture of me standing by garth tanda and mark skaife
