Chapter 5 – 1st Documentary Project –

CHANGE OVER TIME!

DIRECTIONS: Using Photostory 3 for windows, you must create a mini-documentary (3-5 minutes) which
shows CHANGE OVER TIME for each of the 4 sections presented in Chapter 5 – Industrialization.

GRADING CRITERIA: - Creativity will enhance your presentation. Your movie should be interesting,
concise (short and to the point), informative, and entertaining. Be sure to include the following:

1. Movie MUST have title screen and credits (sources and cast)
2. Movie MUST include an explanation of how things CHANGED OVER TIME in each section (there are 4
sections)!
3. Movie MUST include voice (I suggest writing a script).
4. Movie MUST include background sound (appropriate music).
5. Movie MUST include appropriate, high quality images (not blurry).
