Guidelines for the project of history of Spain in the 20th century

These are the guidelines and some useful information to take into account for the project of the history of Spain during the 20th century: 

The project has to combine audio and images. This means that there are different options:

- a video with drawings or images with puppets made by you 

- a video with a perfomance of the members of the group 

- you can also do a Narrated Photo Story with the Photo Story 3 program (Fotos Narradas), but using your drawings instead of photos. Here you have a short tutorial with the explanation in Spanish:

You can include some real images (photographs), but all the project can't be explained through photographs, because you have to be CREATIVE. 

The explanation has to be dynamic and understandable and all you say has to be related with what's happening on the screen. You have to make an effort and think of how to translate the text into images. We've seen several examples during this year about how to do this simply and effectively

As there are some figures who repeat in every historical period, you should try to make drawings that look like them. They don't have to be perfect, but they should be easily recognizable, as in cartoons. Here you have some examples:

You can include some titles or subtitles to explain the story, but don't make an excessive use of texts. Remember that the contents have to be understandable. You can use humour sometimes, but remember that some perios of the history of Spain in the 20th century were very tragic you shouldn't make jokes with people's suffering. 

All the contents you need are on the book. If you want to enlarge some contents, you have to make sure that they are historically accurate. Send me your script in advance if you want me to have a look on it. 

And remember that the deadline for the project will be on Friday, the 14th June. You will have to upload your projects to Youtube or bring a memory stick with the project. If you have any questions or you need help, you can look for me during the breaktime or by mail. 

Don't wait until the last moment. The sooner you finish, the more time you will have to do other things and you will also have time to improve your projects to get a better mark (the only thing most of you worry about). 

Have a nice weekend.
