Movie Trailer Project Your job, with your groups, is to create a movie trailer for the major civil war battle for which your group has been assigned. I am pretty much giving your group control on how to complete this project, but there are a few requirements. REQUIREMENTS: 1.) You have Thursday, Friday, and Monday to work on it in class. EVERYTHING ELSE MOST BE COMPLETED ON YOUR OWN TIME!!!!!!!! 2.) The completed movie trailer is due **__Novemeber 19th__** 3.) The trailer must be at least 3 minutes long 4.) Along with your movie trailer, your group must turn in a story board 5.) Do the best you possibly can, because we will be hosting our own **BARBERSHOP AWARDS!!!!!!!!** Here are some movie maker websites that might help: [|movie maker 1] Windows movie maker [|movie maker 2]
 * You can use any movie maker you like and complete the project in any way you like (skit, picture show, etc.)
 * There needs to be both picture and voice on your trailer
 * It must outline your movie trailer
 * Have a two paragraph explination of how your group came up with the idea for the movie trailer, and how your group worked together.

Here are a few trailers you can look at: [|tangled trailer] [|megamind trailer] [|despicable me trailer]

Go to this page [|docteach]. On this page is an activity I want you and your group to look at together. There are three questions you will need to answer on a sheet of paper and turn in. Once you have finished you can continue on with the constitution project. Recently your country has gone to civil war, and your state won it's independence. It is you and your teams job to hold a constitutional convention and create a new name and a new constitution for your country. Using your groups creativity and knowledge we have already gained on the United States of America's own road to freedom help your country create its own constitution by outlining the following information:
 * __Before you start the constitution activiy:__**
 * __Constitution Activity:__**

1.) Would your country have a strong or a weak central government? What would that central government's roles and responsibilities be? Would you have all three branches of the government like the U.S. has today, or would you choose to only have one branch like they did under the Articles of Confederation? 2.) What would the role and responsibilities of the state governments be? Would the government have all three branches? Would they have a governor? Would it be more powerful than the central government?

Here are some websites that you can use to help you creatively show off your new consititution [|**simplebooket.com**] [|comic strip 1] [|comic strib 2] [|a photo book] Or you can simply go to microsoft publisher and create a flyer, brochure, poster!!

The creativity is up to you, but the **__grade__** will be based on the information you have given me as well as the creativity!!!!!
