Part 1: Video Clip CSI: NY

We're going to watch some of an episode. Then we're going to try and "put the pieces together" using crime scene and AWL1 vocabulary. Post 2 sentences using vocabulary words.

1. First, it might help to go to the website and do some research about the TV show and its characters. Click on the link below.

2. Click "About" and read the basic history of the show. We will talk about it together.

3. Next you will pick a character from the show and then tell us about them.

Part 2: Storyboarding

1. First, you and your partner need to examine the images you took on the field trip. If you think you need more images, you should find them on the Internet. As I said in class, you should save these images on a flash drive or your gmail acct. Do not save them in My Documents!

2. Now you need to figure out the order of your images in a "storyboard". It helps to print them out and "play" with them on a piece of paper. I will go around and help you:) You should have 10 images. Keep in mind that you need to use 10 vocabulary words as well.

Part 3: Windows Movie Maker

1. Click "Start" and then open Windows Movie Maker from the "All Programs" menu. This is the program we will be using.

2. I will give you a handout with basic instructions, but it will probably be easier if I demonstrate for you how to use this software.

3. Your main task today is to upload the 10 images you are going to use. You may need to "reshoot" or create images you think you want to use if you can't find them on the Internet:)

If we have time, I'll show you some more tips.
