GRADES: Passing vs. Honors

In order to pass the course, you must do the following:

• 5 blog posts to your Student Blog - for more detail. Include links, images, and videos for your viewer.
• 1. Screenwriter
• 2. Producer
• 3. Cinematographer
• 4. Director
• 5. Review of a review

• Final Project - click to see deadlines.
• Post remake of your movie to YouTube
• Post Trailer of your movie to YouTube

• Course Reflection - Hard Copy AND email to kobrien@episcopalacademy.org
• 1. What did you do? What was your role in your group? 
• 2. What did you learn? What was most surprising?
• 3. Peer review: What did others do? (how specific people did in your group)
• 4. What would you do differently in making your film?
• 5. What would you recommend for this course next year?
• Minimum 5 paragraphs - answer the questions above.

In order to achieve Honors in the course, you must do the following:

• At least EIGHT blog posts: 5 of which are excellent (reflecting research and sharing embedded videos as well as links and quotes). Additional posts could share helpful videos: writing, filming, editing, etc. 
• Final Project is excellent - shows enhanced use of the techniques and skills you learned in class.
• 1 five-paragraph film review (use blog for a PDF on how to write a movie review)
• Course Reflection (see above) 
• Comment on 5 of the 50+ blog posts on the class blog. 
• What posts did you find most interesting?
• What posts did you find helpful? 
• What did you learn?

HONORS: In essence, you've gone above and beyond the minimum. 

PASSING: You've completed all 3 bullet points.

So we make it clear: skipping any of those first 3 bullets will result in a failure for the course.
