Technology Component of AA Project
(see previous posts for AA Project guidelines)
Note: Students received daily work (DW) grades based on how well they were on task, following the guidelines for the project, and showing me what they had completed during our class time.
Reminder- The grade for the actual product/component you create will be given when you do your presentation and "use" your technology component as part of your presentation.
Ideas for Your Technology Component
Note- Never give credit card information even to "free" web sites. Only use web sites that are FREE for this project.

Component 2 (Technology Menu) (50 pts.)
You may NOT do a PPT or Prezi!
1. Create a short YouTube video (mini-documentary) about your author (if you need to borrow a camera, please let me know)
2. Electronic Comic Book
3. Blog or Web Site Page for the Author
4. Create an Interactive Game
5. .??? Have another idea for using media to present? Let's talk.
* What should your media component teach us? We should learn about the author, the author's time period, and the author's literature. You should also consider what makes this author a famous American author.
