If your child needs extra support outside of the camp, please reach out for additional options, such as 1:1 tutoring or joining one of my ongoing or one-time courses.Assessment
Assessment will occur throughout each day. Informal assessment will occur during activities, with verbal feedback given. There will also be informal check-ins where I assess the status of the class and determine if everyone is ready to move on. I will use these check ins to inform partnerships.Class Experience

Parental Guidance
Depending on their story ideas, learners may need help with creating props, sets, acting, and filming. Nothing elaborate is necessary but I also try to avoid squashing creativity with practicality. I've have students make movies with their dolls when they couldn't get actors together in time.
I prefer to teach editing in iMovie because it is one of the most simple free video editors that doesn't require users to have an account.
Adobe Premiere Rush is a great alternative for anyone working on a phone or tablet that isn't an apple device.
I will also use Google Classroom to easily make copies of templates for learners' to work on their screenplays, and so I can review their work. Learners will need a google account. I will provide a code for our classroom during our first live meeting.
Supply List
Learners will need to either use a notebook or word document to draft their movies. Templates will be provided as Google Docs and Word Docs. Any type of digital camera: smartphone, tablet, even a computer camera will work for some movies, but we will make it work.
