Windows+Movie+Maker+Project

=What is your favorite sport?? Due Monday December 5th!!=



For this project you will be creating a video with Windows Movie Maker showcasing your favorite sport.

Step 1: Pick the sport you are going to focus on
There are numerous sports you could choose- besides the obvious sports like baseball or football there is also hunting, fishing, skateboarding, etc.

Step 2: Research your sport
You need to include the following information in your project:
 * Origin of the sport
 * Who invented it?
 * When was it invented?
 * Where was it invented?
 * How was the game played when it was first started? (were there different rules? Was the equipment different?)
 * Variations of the sport
 * Are there different ways to play the sport?
 * Is the sport played differently for boys and girls? (for example a volleyball net is higher for men’s volleyball than it is for women’s)
 * Your favorites
 * Who is your favorite team? (if not a team sport, exclude this)
 * Who is your favorite individual? (Michael Jordan, Lisa Leslie, Tim Tebow, Ty Murray, Rob Dyrdek, etc)
 * If not a team sport maybe you have a favorite show regarding your sport (for example if you like fishing maybe there is a tv show you like to watch on fishing)

Step 3: Collect pictures to be included in your project
Collect pictures and save them to a flash drive or in My Documents to be used in your project.

Step 4: Design your project
Guidelines are listed below:
 * A MINIMUM of 12 pictures
 * Music included
 * Text on each picture
 * Title Slide (title and your name)
 * Sources slide
 * You must list the sites where you get each picture as well as where you get all your research information from
 * Transitions between each slide
 * Information slides
 * Be sure the text is easy to read
 * Be sure the slides show long enough to read the text
 * 2 pictures of yourself participating in the sport

Step 5: Publish your video for viewing
After you have finished your video you need to publish the finished product to your portfolio on YOUR wiki by first saving it to your computer as a finished video and then embedding the video onto your wiki.
