Week 3 April 18-22

Earth Day Friday April 22, 2016    

In tribute to Earth Day I would like each student to make a video representing Earth Day. Earth Day Celebration is in its 46 year!

The video that you make needs to contain photos, pictures, sketches, videos on the topic of Earth Day. A song(s) should accompany the images you present. Provide a title at the beginning and an ending title at the end of you video fading to black. Project is due Friday 4-22.

Two ways to take the video:
2 minutes or longs
15 seconds or less....

There are so many different ways you can create a video with this topic. Some sample topics. Again these are only suggestions.

1. Greed, Selfishness, Apathy......Only Man

2. Global Warming, Climate Change. Surely you have an opinion? Are there things that need to be done? Or ...is man making changes? Or does man need to make any changes?

3. Seven Billion Plus....Earth is the third planet from the Sun, the densest planet in the Solar System, the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets, and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.

4.  Native American Ten Commandments

1. The Earth is our Mother, care for her.
2. Honor all your relations.
3. Open your heart and soul the the Great Spirit.
4. All life is sacred, treat all beings with respect.
5. Take from the Earth what is needed and nothing more.
6. Do what needs to be done for the good of the all.
7. Give constant thanks to the Great Spirit for each new day.
8. Speak the truth: but only of the good in others.
9. Follow the rhythms of nature: rise and retire with the sun.
10. Enjoy life's journey but leave no tracks.

5.  Top 20 Earth Day Songs. You can use these songs as background to your video or use these songs to be your video.
