Theme Assignment ONE: Using the short story from your country, or your favorite movie or book, create a video that explains the following:
1) the definition of theme
2) the rules of theme
3) the theme of your work (use your country short story or the movie or book of your choice)
4) 3 pieces of evidence that support the theme
5) a written script on Schoology for a grade!
*** You may work with ONE partner, but you must do the same short story/book/movie
You may use mysimpleshow, adobe spark, comic life, or any other program you know how to operate. I would PREFER you not use Keynote or Power Point- they're so 90s!
For mysimpleshow.com, you will write your own script, make sure the images they chose are compatible, and voice over. It took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to use the program, so you should be able to watch the tutorials and have no problem completing the assignment.
This will count as a quiz grade. We will share these with (a portion of) the class!
