Finding the THESIS for your Digital Story

REMEMBER: YOUR thesis is simply the thread that ties all three of your projects together!


  DO NOW! 

• If you have NOT already done so, open your Digital Story Project Outline from your Google Docs and enter your THESIS (which you did as homework over the weekend).  
• When finished open the COMMENTS in the upper right hand side of the document, "show the comments stream",  and add a comment saying that you are done with your thesis.  
• I will automatically get an email saying you have added the thesis if you do this.

• If you already added your THESIS to your outline on Google Docs then:
• Open the Outline and then open the COMMENTS in the upper right hand side of the document, "show the comments stream", and add a comment saying that you are done with your thesis.   
• I will automatically get an email saying you have added the thesis if you do this.
•  THEN ADD a new section to the outline called EVIDENCE.  
• In this evidence section write down the specific pieces of evidence from your three projects (Timeline, Testimonio, & Memoir) that you plan on using in your Digital Story.  

  Classwork... 

* WE ARE IN PROJECT MODE *

1. Work as hard as you can
2. Get answers to your questions before you get lost or frustrated!
1. Check the BLOG for answers first
2. Then ask the students sitting near you
3. Then GET UP and go to John (or call him over if he is VERY near)

 Today: 

1. BEFORE you can begin on your keynote you must have a USABLE THESIS!  If you did NOT accomplish this as homework or during the Do Now then you MUST do this before you do anything else.
1. If you need help with your Thesis John will be working with a small group near the door.
2. If you don't need help then GET IT DONE!
3. When finished with your thesis open the COMMENTS in the upper right hand side of the document, "show the comments stream",  and add a comment saying that you are done with your thesis.  
1. I will automatically get an email saying you have added the thesis if you do this.
2.  NOW ADD a new section to the outline called EVI DENCE.  
1. In this evidence section write down the specific pieces of evidence from your three projects (Timeline, Testimonio, & Memoir) that you plan on using in your Digital Story.
2. Once you do this then your outline is complete enough to begin work.
1. As you work on the project remember to write down any change in your ideas or thesis on the outline.  If you don't you will forget them!
3. THEN start on your Keynote by laying out ALL 12 slides,  Transferring your ideas from the outline to each one.
1. You can erase your 'notes' from the slide later, but lay out your outline in slide format so that you can see if you have enough to complete the Digital Story.
4. LAST, do an exit ticket before you leave.
