Elaborate

Elaborate
Throughout the elaborate stage you are guided towards engaging in higher order thinking, in order to deepen your understanding of the topic and continuously deepen and refine your understanding and learning skills also.

Learning Intention
====In this stage you are aiming to show your understanding of all the renewable energy sources covered and your aim is to apply this understanding to your own video and the question about what type of renewable energy is most effective. ====

** Overall Objective for elaborate stage **
====Your aim within this stage is to apply your new knowledge gained from the earlier activities in a new or different way through the use of two web 2.0 tools. ====

** Specific Objectives for activities **
====1. Polldaddy is a website that allows you to create surveys, polls or quiz's on an topic with the ability to create a graph or visual representation of your data.Your aim is to answer the question posted on Polldaddy and comment on the reason behind your answer. You need to be able to explain why you have chosen your answer and use language we have learnt through this unit. This response must be proof read and ensure it is a minimum of 10 line. ==== ====2. Imovie and Windows Movie Maker are programs used for editing and creating movies using images, snippets of film, whilst also allowing you to add special effects or sounds. You are required to make a movie that is at least two minutes in length and covers a topic within you renewable energy source. The video must include a title page, an end page, easily read if any text on screen and must be presented well. Please see the attached rubric here for the assessment criteria.

1. At the beginning as a class we will re-cap our previous lesson through class discussion.
====2. As a class we will explore the use of polls and surveys as form of data collation as a part of our mathematics class, exploring data presentations styles __ also. ==== ====3. The following step is for each of you to answer the poll question created below on Polldaddy. First you must answer and then provide a comment stating __ the reasoning behind choosing your answer. ====

5. The answer provided to this question will then be the renewable energy you use to create your animated movie around.
====6. The final task for this stage will be completed over several lessons: This task is is to create an animated movie about one of the renewable energy sources that we have covered in this unit. This animate movie can be created in any way you would like and use any materials you wish. Some ideas for materials that you can use are to Lego, clay or paper but ultimately it is up to you. Listed below is a step by step guide of what you need to include or consider when creating your movie ====
 * ====Step 1: The first task requires you to choose what you would like your video to cover eg: the strength of your renewable energy or showing how your renewable energy works. ====
 * ====Step 2: You must chose the type of material you wish to use to create your animation. ====
 * ====<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Step 3: You must then create a storyboard with 12 screens that will help to work out the important components that need to be included in your animation.

 * ====<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Step 4: Once your storyboard has been checked off by the teacher you can then begin to create the objects or scenes that you will need to create your animation. Remember detail is important at this stage. ====
 * ====<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Step 5: You can then borrow the class camera and take your still shots or your mini films to create your animation. ====
 * ====<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Step 6: Once the last step is completed you can then upload the images or mini films onto your computer. ====
 * ====<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Step 7: You must then create the movie using Window Movie Maker or Imovie. ====
 * ====<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Step 8: You have the option to add special effects or sound effects to your movie. ====
 * ====<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Step 9: Once completed you can upload your movie onto our class wiki for all to see. ====

**<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Polldaddy **
====<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Answer the question below and ensure you post a comment on the poll to explain the reason behind your answer. Make sure you check your spelling before finalising your response. ====

**<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Windows Movie Maker or Imovie **
====<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Movie Making programs are use to combine several movies together or to create a movie using images. These programs allow you to add special effect and add sound into your movie. If you need extra support or help in how to use this program you can click on these links ([|Imovie] and [|Windows Movie Maker]) and watch a video of how to use either program. You are required to make a short movie about your renewable energy source but the rest is up to you. Refer to the rubric attached for your marking criteria for this assignment. ====
