Theme Assignment ONE: Using your favorite movie or book, create a (mysimpleshow.com) video that explains the following:
1) the definition of theme
2) the rules of theme
3) the theme of your work (movie or book)
4) 3 pieces of evidence that support the theme
For mysimpleshow.com, you will write your own script, make sure the images they chose are compatible, and do YOUR OWN voice over (as you can tell by the example, choosing their voice overs sounds BAD). It took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to use the program, so you should be able to watch the tutorials and have no problem completing the assignment. This will count as a quiz grade. We will share these with (a portion of) the class! You will turn in a copy of your script on Schoology as well.
