Make a G-MTV to archive your Summer Memories! DIRECTIONS: http://itasca.k12.il.us/peacock/6team/peel/historyclassroom/G-MTV.htm G.eography M.usic T.ravel V.ideo! REMEMBER TO ADD AND ZOOM IN ON CONTINENT AND REGION MAPS AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR G-MTV! Dear Parents, Mr. Peel's project of using H.istory M.usic V.ideos (Humvees) and G.eography M.usic T.ravel V.ideos (G-MTV's) in 6th Grade Social Studies Class for T.A.G. / Enrichment / Common Time / Extra Credit teaches the student to: 1. Plan out their project well to avoid time consuming mistakes. Planning a project in teams is part of collaboration. 2. Organize their information well. They learn a lot about linear and non-linear information strategies. Some things can be added in a non-linear way such as inserting a slide. Some things need to be correct before the next step, such as spelling. To take a slide with a misspelled word and correct it after it has been converted into a jpeg and inserted into Windows Movie Maker means going back several steps to a PPT program to fix it, then reconverting it to jpeg. Etc. 3. Once in WMM students learn about flow charts or input of slides/information in an orderly way. Adding in transitions and timing to the music means having all the elements needed in order or the project doesn't work right. Taking slides in/out in a non-linear way will throw off the music timing. 4. Consequences of bad organization become graver the further along the student is into the project. Often students have to start over after the music is in the timeline if a slide has to be corrected or added in. The whole project is off. 5. Becoming knowledgeable about file formats is very important as well as learning about what programs take different formats and how to work with them. 6. Using different kinds of equipment and multiple literacies: words + music + pictures converted to a movie meets National Education Technology Standards (NETS): #4,#5,and #6.
