Process

1. To begin, you need to get a sense of some of the environmental issues facing Canada. It's time to read up on the issues.

 

2. After you browse the Envirozine website, you need to narrow your focus to one topic. Then reading up on the issues relating to the topic that you have chosen. As you are reading, you need to make notes in chart form. On the chart, you must include information on the following areas for your topic: main problems, possible solutions, groups involved in this issue.

 

3. Now that your chart is complete, it is time to organize your ideas. Make a storyboard for commercial. The storyboard should include all of the ideas that you want to include in the commercial. Create your storyboard by writing the story in point form or drawing out what happens in each scene of your movie. If you choose to draw, you can do this on paper, or you can use an on-line tool called Storyboard. Create Television Commercial

 

4. It is time to create an amazing television commercial. Decide on what type of show you want to create (powerpoint, video in which you act, a collection of video clips and photos from internet etc.)

All shows must follow these rules:

(a) the show must be created with some type of mutimedia software (powerpoint, adobe premier, moviemaker etc.)

(b) the show must be set to music that emphasizes the message of the show

(c) the show must clearly show the main environmental issues facing Canada

(d) the show must contain some useful suggestions for Canadians about how they can make environmentally sound changes in their lives that will help to solve the issue

 

5. When you finish the show, upload it to youtube.com and then send the link to the following address: shawna@mapleleafpro.net. When you do this, a link will be created from your youtude video to this site.
