Course Project: School Visit and Observation

Due: September 29, 2014

 
OUTPUT: Video through GOOGLE DRIVE. Run time is minimum of 15, maximum of 30 mins.

(REMINDER: DO NOT SUBMIT ONE BY ONE, GIVE IT TO YOUR CLASS REP.)

         Suppose you have a TV Program and you are to visit a school. You are free to choose what type of program it will be (e.g. a documentary, talk show, movie clip). Express your creativity through visual and audio effects while keeping in mind that your program should enlighten us with the following points of discussion given below. Provide a well-deliberated introduction that can easily catch the attention of the audience but maintain the energy you started until the end. The audio should be clear. If not possible, provide a subtitle feature.  

         It should be expected that some administrators/ teachers will not entertain the idea of having them videotaped, thus, you should bring a pen and a notepad for the accuracy of information and credibility of your TV Program.

        At the end of your show, please allow each member to express their realization and insights. (e.g. what can you say about teaching as a profession, school as an institution, and yourself as a possible future practitioner in the field and so on…)

NOTE: Below is a guide to show what areas of teacher and/ or school activities should be considered. Never present this to school administrators/teachers as a questionnaire for them to answer.
