Working on Visual Memoirs

You don't actually need a separate microphone.

Goal: Learn how to cite an image and work more on visual memoirs. (Bonus, some of you may want to try making a test screencast.)

Read: 

• Books out
• You should be finishing your second book this week. 
• We will work on a bit of writing about your books next week. (Don't panic.) 

Copyright free images:

• For your visual memoir you can only use pictures from http://photosforclass.com or personal pictures you or someone you know took. 
• All pictures must have a visible black attribution bar OR be listed on the credits slide of your visual memoir. 
• You may also use Creative Commons licensed images from other sources, but you must provide a link to that source in your credit. 
• Citation format for images is:  Creator's Last name, First name. “Title of the digital image.” Title of the website, retrieval date. URL.
• Note: Providing a citation DOES NOT mean you are allowed to use the image. If you are in doubt about image rights ask a teacher. 

Screencasting: 

• If you want to make a movie of your visual memoir you could try screencasting today. 
• Recording your screen and adding your voice is not hard. 
• There are several free sites and apps that do this. 
• We will try Screencast-o-matic.
• Today we just want you to try it. You won't be making a perfect recording today, just a little practice. 
• Don't practice too much because the free version limits you to 15 minutes of recording. 

Work on your Visual Memoir: 

• Remember copyright free images only. Use Photos for Class. 
• Visual memoir projects are due Wednesday 10/3.

Reminders: 

• Read. You are finishing book #2 this week.
• Make sure you finished the AOW assignment from last week. 
• Are you missing anything else in your English Journal that you need to catch up on?
