= = = = =Cocktail Group= = = =What:= Your Task is to develop a digital poem or story based around a chosen topic. Planning for this is essential. You will use Keynote and the blue screening element of this to produce your presentation.

Keynote is like Powerpoint. You can use this in many ways. Keynote has an alpha key that allows you to bluescreen. This means that you can take a photo of yourself against a blue sheet and then insert yourself into an image making the blue background transparent. Be creative in your thinking and make your story have impact. Have a look at the examples provided for a clear idea of what is expected.

=Planning:= You can either plan digitally or on the paper provided. Be creative and have some fun with this. Storyboard how many frames you require and what text will be on each of them. You can plan in this Wiki if you like. You can insert a table and use it as a flow map.

=Rubric:= Have a read through the rubric and decide on the level you are aiming for. Obviously you want to aim for the top.
