Overview of Groups

Each group will have 4 members (a production manager/editor, an artistic director, a lead writer, and a technical expert).  Every member must engage in the science and be experts on the topic.

Individual responsibilities*
•    Production Manager & Editor: to research audience and appropriate approach, to create a timeline, to schedule meetings, and to keep group on schedule, and to maintain a record of all resources used
•    Artistic Director: to find or create photos and video to be used, and ultimately to ensure that images match the tone of the story
•    Lead Writer: to take the collective knowledge and write the narrative.  It is important that the information be factual but not so detailed as to lose the interest of the audience.
•   Technical Expert: to master iMovie and to create the digital story

*Note: Although each of you has a primary role, you are also expected to master the material and provide constructive feedback to each other.  Also, one student will voice the narrative.

Sign-up Procedures

Part 1

Sign-up using the Google Form linked here with details of your group members and the topic. Refer to the live spreadsheet below prior to choosing a topic to make sure yours hasn’t already been taken by another group. Please note: The spreadsheet embedded here may take a couple of minutes to update; do not submit your group twice.

 

Part 2

Fill out hard copy of Group Agreement Form: discuss responsibilities, tasks and roles that each person agrees to manage. Also discuss the preferred method of communication, how soon you expect team members to respond to emails, and your contact person for help if group dynamics are an issue. This should be a discussion had by your group in-person and not over email.
