 * media type="custom" key="7984486"[|Podcast]Bee Docs Timeline Project**

To give you an example of the caliber of work I'm looking for, here is a timeline on the Civil Rights Movement in America. Note the background music, pictures, and the detailed explanations given for each major event:

This is a pretty good timeline, but one of the criticisms we discussed in class about this one is the fact that the timing is way too fast, and the viewer has to stop constantly in order to find out what the descriptions say. Points would be deducted from the communication portion of the rubric (see below) for this on your projects.

To give you an example of an //inadequate// timeline, the one below about the Revolutionary war only has sporadic images and doesn't go in depth for many of the dates. In your timelines you will have to give a brief description for each date/event on your timeline. media type="youtube" key="an0f9htNcTQ" height="412" width="689" align="center"

Below you will find a brief intro to using BeeDocs, showing you how to work the program. media type="youtube" key="aOWfern0vHI" height="423" width="704" align="center"

Attached is a description of the project along with the rubric. More information will be given in class on how to put the project together and how to use BeeDocs, this page will just serve as a reference for you when putting together your First Draft, Second Draft, and Final Product.



Here is an excerpt of the expectations for the drafts you will be submitting, please refer to the rubric however for specific information regarding how your project will be graded and what I will be looking for.

There will be two drafts before your final product is due, and each draft will be more tech-heavy than the former.

a. ** The Dates and Events chosen ** b. ** A description of the event and why it was a milestone in your particular form of media ** c. ** A picture representing the event (could be a person, place, chart, etc.) **
 * 1. ** **First Draft:** For your first draft, due 9/10/10, you will be required to submit a simple timeline of the 10-15 events or dates that your group has come up with that will make up your timeline. This can be done using Word or even the non-movie form of BeeDocs. Included in this timeline will be:


 * 2. ** **Second Draft:** For your second draft, due 9/14/10, your group will have finished entering all of the information from your first draft into the actual BeeDocs program, creating a timeline. Any problems that arose from the first draft should be corrected at this point. **The only additional item you will turn in during this draft will be the script you are using for your final animation**. This will be edited so that you can simply work on putting the movie together, which will make up your final product.


 * 3. ** **Final Product:** For your final product, due 9/17/10 you will be putting the timeline into the form of a movie. Directions for doing this will be given during class time. All of your information should be corrected by the final draft, **BEFORE it is turned into a movie**.__ At this stage the only additional item you will need is to find a soundtrack to go along with your movie. Try to find a song that is appropriate to your topic, (I can think of a good one off the top of my head for TV!)
