Zeitgeist- Year One

The term zeitgeist is from German Zeit- 'time' and Geist- 'spirit'
At the end of 2010 Google created their own Zeigeist, which showed the Year in review.




The search engine Bing also created a "Year in review for 2011" based on all the searches conducted on their website.




According to Bing searches, "2011 was the year of musical superstars, continued celebrity fascination, concern for human tragedy and new royalty. From rising stars and weddings to intense trials and natural disasters, Bing has captured history through the searches that mark the year's most important people, places and moments in time".


The Assignment
Your task is to create a grade 6 semester 1, Zeitgeist.


Guidelines:

1. This is a reflection on the first 6 months of middle school ( it is not humanities specific).
2. The media to showcase your reflection is a 60 - 90 second imovie.
3. The imovie can be a combination of graphics, narrative, text and songs. ( song clips should not be more than 30 seconds or You tube may remove the song).
4. Planning is key. Create a doc google and plan the sequence of your graphics / information (before you start working on imovie).
5. Once completed upload your video to youtube and also create a Zeitgeits Reflection page under the humanities section on your eportfolio.

You have 3 lessons to complete the assignment.

Enjoy
Mr. T
