The Sky is Falling!

Step 1 - Design a Solution

Problem

The sky is falling! In some way unknown to scientists, small meteorites are impacting the surface. As the Government Communications Team (GCT), you have been asked to prepare an informative video with a short assessment component on how to take shelter.

Project

Create a paper slides slideshow with these components:

Title slide with hand-drawn image
An about slide sharing your team's names and GCT titles
Three slides that demonstrate the danger and how to deploy GCT anti-meteorite umbrellas (AMUs).
A closing slide

Next, create a short quiz based on the information you have crafted.

Task

Use paper-n-makers/crayons to create your paper slideshow. Convert your paper slideshow to video using Shadow Puppet EDU on iOS, a Google Slides screencast (Screencastify, Nimbus ScreenRecorder).

Once you have created your video, send it to YouTube.

Use EdPuzzle to embed a short assessment at midpoint and end of your video to check for understanding.

Submit the link to your EdPuzzle video with assessment to Seesaw, AND a copy of your video (two components)
