Fourth Quarter - Final Project

You have three options for your "Final Project." Your Final Project is due May 15, 2009. You should submit a typed report to Mrs. Feld no later than April 17, 2009 indicating chosen topic, purpose of your project, general ideas. If it's a group project (two students), please type the names of both students.

I. One Option (Option No. 1)

Creating your own "Personal Mission Statement" - this is an individual project. You will create your own short iMovie Presentation about your "Mission Statement." A personal mission statement can be a very important addition in your resume and college application. Employers and college admission directors take notice and your chances of being hired or accepted are much greater. You will create you own short iMovie Presentation about your "Personal Mission Statement." If it's easier for you to use PowerPoint first, and then create individual slides that you can photograph (using the Command + Shift + No. 4 Keyboard Shortcut to select each slide) - you can do so. Your iMovie presentation will have at least the following slides:

1. First Slide: A Title Slide which should include one of your Photoshop creations and the title "My Personal Mission Statement" and your name.
2. Second Slide: Slide for "My Successes."
3. Third Slide: "My Most Important Values" (underlining or bolding the most important one for you).
4. Fourth Slide: "My Goals and Dreams."
5. Fifth Slide: "My Personal Mission Statement."

6. Sixth Slide:  Your favorite Quote.

You may add some of the pictures you scanned for the "Story of My Life Project" or other pictures.

II. Another Option (Option No. 2)

Public Awareness Project - you will select a topic of interest and create a Public Awareness Movie/Presentation. You may work individually or with another student (no more than two students per group). What interests you? How can you help in your community? What issues need our attention? How can we improve ourselves? How can we improve others? How can we improve the environment? How can you make a difference? You may pick from the suggested topics or select your own (according to your preferences). Mrs. Feld has to approve the topic chosen.

III. Another Option (Option No. 3)

The idea is to coordinate with another teacher and decide what kind of project you can work on to get credit on both subjects (Digital Applications and Subject Chosen). The project should include creating a movie, using the iMovie Presentation Program or a Slide Show, using iPhoto or PowerPoint. You can also use Digital Camcorders and Digital Cameras. One or more of your slides should include a Photoshopped picture. This project should take you one or two weeks to complete. It cannot be just a poster in Photoshop - a poster can be part of the project to add to your iMovie or other presentation.


You can get very creative while working on these projects. Mrs. Feld will give you the instructions and rubric of the project selected. Please follow the instructions carefully. For those who have a B+ average in Digital Applications, this final project will determine whether you will be exempted of taking the Final Exam. For those who don't have a B+ average, this project will help you get a better grade this Fourth Quarter and improve your overall course average.

Thanks for your cooperation!
