12. Why-Questions (continued)

Monday 4 May 2020

1.

A Reminder… An effective way to answer a Why-Question is to do the following:

This strategy can also be applied to the creation of an explainer video that explains “why”. Each step (in the diagram above) represents a scene in the video.

2.

Now consider these Why-Questions on the Russian History (Tsarist Russia):

ONE:

Why did revolution break out in Russia in 1905? [6]

TWO:

Why was Stolypin important in the years after the 1905 Revolution? [6]

THREE:

Why did many Russians feel bitterness towards Tsar Nicholas II after the 1905 Revolution? [6]

3.

You will each make a video answer to one of the above questions, using the PowerPoint template in Schoology. This is how the template works:

4.

Use the template to make a video answer to one of the above Why-Questions. Here is what you have to do:

1. Download the PowerPoint “Why-Question-Template” – it is in “Materials” in Schoology.

2. Use the template to write the answer / script in PowerPoint.

[Remember, in PowerPoint, one needs to follow the same strategy / pattern (as shown in the diagram above), with a slide for each step. In other words… each step mentioned above (in the diagram) is a slide (in PowerPoint). And each slide (in PowerPoint) will be a scene (in the video).]

3. Upload the script to Mysimpleshow.

4. Then make the video.

As always, I will be online in case you need to ask a question or need help.

5.

Remember to “invite” me to this new video. You can do so even if you have not completed the video yet – in other words while still working on it.

6.

Once completed, please send me a message in Schoology (use the SAME mail-thread…) to confirm that you have finished the work as set for today.
