China Alive Descritograph II

chartLet’s unpack the experience we had on our China Alive trips by working through an interactive brainstorm and sort of adjectives that describe your time in Yangshuo, Hong Kong, or Hainan.  You may use your dictionary/thesaurus for this activity.  Once the group has created a list of words, negotiate as a group how the words can be sorted into categories, levels, or another sorting method, and graphically rearrange the words to reflect your formula.

“Fiddler” Video Production Plan

I’m extremely excited to share our latest video production plan for “Fiddler on the Roof” with you.  Over the past few days we’ve acquired new Sony HD cameras, plus an additional camera crew member.  This promises to be our biggest and best video production of an SAS musical ever!  We now have a camera crew of six, plus two cameras that will shoot stationary footage – one from the front of the curtain on stage right, plus another to cover the “master shot” at the rear of the auditorium.  We have also been working with our spectacular master audio engineer, Amox, to drive new lines of audio into the submix that I’ll be working on in the control room via Apple’s Logic Pro software while the camera crew are shooting the footage.  All in all, we have 8 cameras plus a dedicated audio mix that will then be imported into Final Cut Pro X in a multicamera session so that we can create some spectacular memories for the cast and crew of “Fiddler on the Roof”.  We have the opportunity to create the biggest and the best HD video of an SAS musical event ever.  Let’s do it together!

Focus on Strategies

Today we’re going to use Padlet to brainstorm strategies that are used by successful language learners.  You can double-click on the wall to start a new sticky, and you can attach documents or pictures if you can think of another way to explain how the strategy works.  You can even take a picture with your iSight camera if you’d like to visually demonstrate your idea.
