Vowel Combination Video Outline

Part 1:
➢ (close up of me talking to the camera)“Do you know that 2 letters together can make one sound? Well, it’s true! When you’re reading new words, look for these long vowel combinations:
➢ (type out these sounds)
ay ee oa
ai ea ow
➢ (close up of me talking to the camera) “Here is a trick to help you remember these vowel combination sounds! Say the letters, say the picture, and say the sound. Let’s try it!”

Part 2:
➢ (show the vowel combination) “a-y”
➢ (show the picture) “play”
➢ (show the vowel combination) “aaaaa”
➢ Do the same for ai, ee, ea, oa, and ow

Part 3:
➢ (Show two students sitting at the kidney table going through the cards)

Part 4:
➢ (close up of me talking to the camera) “Now it’s your turn to try! Remember to say the letters, say the picture, and say the sound. Ready? Here you go!”
➢ Show each card (play low music in the background)

Part 5:
➢ (close up of me talking to the camera) “Great job! Before long, you won’t need the cards and you’ll be able to think of the vowel combination sounds every time you see them in a word! Thanks for reading with me!”

I have commented on three videos.

Next Vista Video Critique

Rainbow: http://www.nextvista.org/rainbows/
This video has a very boring Start and it is boring throughout. There was nothing grabbing my attention at any point in the video. I liked the arrow pointing to diagram as he was explaining. I liked how it came full circle by coming back to same pictures he started with. The resource page at the end was too quick and I had to go back and pause. He used qlipmedia.com, which is a resource I’d like to learn more about. I would improve this by possibly using some real video footage of a rainbow.

Gaming in the Classroom: http://www.nextvista.org/gaming-in-the-classroom/
This video was just a talking head. I realized that just having technology in the background doesn’t automatically make it a video about technology. It was very short only 34 seconds but realized that is long enough when it’s just one shot of one person speaking. I would improve this video with different images or video clips.

President Riddle 1: http://www.nextvista.org/president-riddle-1/
Finally a video that I can see being used in a classroom! It is short and sweet and grabs your attention right away. This video made me realize that it doesn’t take a lot to make a great video. The task was specific and he kept me engaged by showing different portions of the same image. I can see this being used as a riddle for the students to finish if they are done with work early. There is nothing I would change about this video.
