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: 



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?
