Week three
Identify and submit the group of workers you’ll examine for your final project. Explain why it’s captured your attention. (Spend about 300 words on this.)
Week six
Submit an annotated bibliography of the sources you’ve used to learn about the working lives and context of your group of workers. Aim for five to seven article-length sources (a book “counts” for three articles) that offer insight into the history of the profession, its economic and political influences, its working conditions, and how it’s changing. Your annotations, which should be three to five sentences per source, should briefly describe the source and explain why it’s useful. You can choose which citation style you’d like to use, but please be consistent.
Week eight
A storyboard is a graphical representation of the shots that will make up your video. You can read more about storyboards here. You can create storyboards with paper and pencil or assemble them digitally. Your storyboard isn’t set in stone (it’s OK if the final project differs), but it should represent a realistic, workable plan. It should also include, for each shot, some indication of the visual components (including both the content and the type of shot) and audio elements.
On Week 8 (May 24), you should bring to class a draft of your video’s storyboard. We’ll refine on it together on Wednesday and you’ll submit it by Friday night (May 26).
To build your storyboard, you can print out a template, add details digitally, or assemble your story digitally.
- Storyboard template (paper and pencil)
- Use Google Slides to build a storyboard
- Use Canva to build a storyboard
- Use free storyboarding software
Week nine
Bring to class the script for your digital story. By the end of this week, you should have assembled all of the media you plan to incorporate in the video.
Final week
Video is due.
