Key Assessment: Digital Video
Digital Video Storyboard
Digital Video Planning Document
Reflection - Digital Video
This key assessment gave me the opportunity to produce a video that promoted reading for enjoyment and entertainment in a fun and interesting way. I interviewed teachers and students to find out why they loved to read and recorded them discussing some of their favorite books. It was also designed to show primary students what types of books are available to them in their own school media center. This video taught me the importance of storyboarding and planning which were the most time-consuming steps to creating the digital video but made the actual shooting of the video footage so much easier since I knew the exact shot needed to create a finished product.

Reflection - Reading Enrichment Unit
I designed this reading enrichment unit for a group of 1st-grade gifted students who were completing a unit on zoos. I discussed the difference between fiction and nonfiction books as well and read samples from each category. I then utilized various web resources to show the students that you can read a book then extend your knowledge by discussing the book with others and performing further research online through credible web resources. I had a group of enthusiastic learners that I really enjoyed working with and teaching.
