Today the students will begin the planning for their first film project.  First, they will be setting up word so they can write a properly formatted screenplay.

The students will need to follow the following tutorials to properly format their scripts in Word.

Students need to email all missing assignments to

Once their formatting is complete the students will have the rest of the week to begin writing their 60 second commercials in their groups or individually. The rough draft of their scripts must be printed off and turned in by the end of the class period on Thursday.
