To begin the Crazy Talk Timeline of Canada project, you will research an important event in Canadian history. During your research, you will find at least three sources (at least one source must be a primary source) and you will make three note cards.

Once your note cards are completed, you are ready to make your script and movie. You will use your imagination to create a character who will present your research information in your movie. Try to be creative when you are creating your character. For example, if you are writing about an event that relates to the fur trade, you might choose to create an animated beaver to read your script. Near the end of the movie, you will create a review section where you pose and answer some questions relating to the material that you covered in your movie. Some of your questions should involve higher level thinking skills. The movie will end with a bibliography.

You will use three computer programs to turn your script into a movie:

  1. Crazy Talk
  2. Powerpoint
  3. Moviemaker

Your movie needs to have the following elements:

1. A main character with a well developed and appropriate personality

2. A script that contains accurate and detailed historical information about your event

3. A title

4. at least five pictures

5. At least one question and answer that relates to each of the following areas: who, what, where, when, why, how (remember to create some questions that involved higher level thinking skills)

6. Bibliography (that includes pictures).
