Task+Description

Your Challenge for the Week...

=ESTO VIR =

What does the school motto mean for me, as I head into Years 11 and 12?

What does it mean to be the best I can be, through service to others? How could we do this?

What does it mean to be the best I can be, through good and ethical scholarship? How can I improve my approach to my studies and my opportunities for success?

Your challenge is to reflect on the questions above - and to generate some rich questions of your own - that will help you and your peers understand a little bit more about what qualities are needed to "be all that you can be", through good scholarship and/or service to others in the Lasallian tradition.

Your focus can be on high school/HSC, or on other areas of life.

Suggested focus areas for your project/presentation: Requirements of Task:
 * One aspect of one of the Social Justice presentations from Thursday - Caritas, Lasallian Foundation, Vinnies - explore the organisation and what you can do to make a difference through service to that organisation.
 * Successful attitudes to study - what can you do yourself, or as a form, to improve your approach and your chances at success?
 * How can we be the best we can be as a school - in encouraging you to be the best you can be? What are some opportunities for service? For expecting more, supporting you more?
 * Your video/film can be in the form of a report/providing information... or a short story/narrative....or a recipe/procedure/how-to....or an opinion piece/editorial/exposition
 * demonstrate principles of good scholarship (AMOW modules - SPP, Plagiarism, Working with Others, Acknowledging Sources, Copyright)
 * plan (brainstorm/mind-map, story-board, concept map, timeline),
 * prepare,
 * complete,
 * present a short movie (3 - 3 1/2 minutes MAX) on your theme

 * voice over
 * music/effects edited
 * bibliography at end of title credits

On Friday, you will present your final projects. Points will be allocated throughout the week to teams for effort and successful completion of challenges. Points will also be awarded against the criteria above for your finished product.

Three team prizes will be awarded - one for points throughout the week (effort and participation) and one for best video (technical and creativityn- must include AMOW principles in action) and one for best demonstration of theme (exploring Esto Vir, must include AMOW principles in action).

Day 2- Tasks to be completed
From the PRODUCT branch you are to fill in bubbles with the following headings: “what is our film about?”; “What is our storyline?”; “how does this show success?”; “how do we know our idea is creative and original?” From the PROCESS branch you are to fill in the bubbles with the following headings: “What medium/ items are we using to create the film?”; “How will we know we are doing well?”; “how will we ensure we have met the challenge?”; “who will be responsible for what?”; “troubleshooting”. You are to then start creating answers to these questions in new bubbles.
 * Task 1 (20 points)-** In your group, you are to access webspiration and create an account. You are to create a mind map with PRODUCT and PROCESS.
 * //ALL team members should be completing this task.//**
 * Task 2 (20 points)-** Create a bank of images and sounds that you can use for your i-movie. Remember the computers may be slow at times, so don’t be impatient. You should have a file on your desktop with the title: “items for our film”. Into this file you should store internet images, film clips, sounds and music that you will need for your project.
 * //The team member completing this task should be your ICT/photo expert//**
 * Task 3** **(20 points)-** Using your mindmap, you are to **storyboard** your film. This will ensure that you are focused when filming or creating your film. You must have a frame for every shot you will use. This frame should also have the voice over and music. Like the one you see below
