Class Agenda 8.1

1. In-class blog: discuss how the filming process went yesterday. Remember you're writing to an outside reader. Explain what you did, why you were doing it, and whether or not you were effective. Discuss the goal of the project and whether you think that goal was met. Relate what you believe an audience will take from the project.

2. Email assessment of project to me. In a confidential email, discuss the following:

a. Please take a moment to note all the things you've done to produce your video: communications, planning, drafting, writing, reading, traveling, reporting to professor, playing a large role in the filming, and playing a large role in the editing (also consider if you helped other people produce their videos, and how). Now please rank which of these activities you did the most, in a ranked scale of 1-10 (1 being the thing you did the most, 10 being the thing you did least or not at all).

b. Please reflect on how much work you did in your group compared to your classmates. Honestly speaking, do you think you did more work on average, less work on average, or the same amount work on average? Without necessarily identifying other group members (though you're allowed to, as these reports are confidential), please rate yourself as more, same, or less and explain why.

c. Please consider how the filming went yesterday. Are you satisfied with how you believe your filming process went? Why or why not? Is there anything you would do differently? If so, what and why?

d. What grade do you think you personally deserve for this project (not the entire class)? Provide two reasons why you believe you deserve this grade. The reasons should relate to the work you did on the project.

e. Are there any issues that you'd like to bring to our attention as we assign grades? For example, did you have group members drop out of the project? Please let me know about anything you feel we need to know at this time. Remember, we won't share your writing with anyone else.

3. video editing.
