This is the post for the Friday, April 10, 2015 class meeting.
Today we will listen to pitches from everyone in class. We’ll use the entire time for presentations, so be ready to go!
Project 4 Pitch
Today, you will share your pitch with the rest of the class, following the list of questions on p. 56 of Writer/Designer. Remember this is just an informal chat with your classmates. No reason to be nervous. Just talk loudly enough for everyone in the classroom to hear you.
Your pitch should tell us the following information:
- What story did you choose
- How will you remix it
- What form/genre are you using (e.g., video, infographic, animation)
- What tools will you use
- How are you incorporating risk/what you hope to learn
Remember this project is graded 100% on participation. To that end, as your classmates pitch their ideas, please listen politely. Your attention should be on your classmates and not on your computer screen. As appropriate, you can ask questions about another student’s project, make suggestions, and offer support.
