Television+Shows

toc =Real World Examples= iCarly is a Nickelodeon show about a middle school girl who regularly makes webcasts (using software that looks a lot like iMovie on a computer that has a glowing fruit icon that's a pear not an apple). Carly and the other three main characters all have blogs on iCarly.com.

=Performance Task= The performing task could help students understand just how important television is to our society and that nearly everything that we do somehow revolves around this magical device. For anyone who might be interested in someday creating their own television show or going into multimedia it could prove very important to what goes on behind the scenes of their favorite television shows.

=Audience= 1. The audience (students who are not presenting at the time) may act as executive producers of a television network and can fill out evaluations for each presentation. This will give every student an active role and they are also providing feedback for one another. 2. Another audience could be volunteers from around school who have not taken that class because they would be less basis towards students and their projects.

=Role= 1. There are many roles that students could take on. You could take on the role of a famous person from the past or the present similar to the Oprah Webquest example at the bottom. They may take on the role of a news anchor, game show host, broadcaster, daily show host, etc.

=WebQuest Examples= [|The Oprah Show WebQuest] This Webquest was designed by Angie Gunnell from Francis Howell North High School for a Communication Arts class. Oprah wants to start a new series of shows called "America's Role in the World Community", in which students have to research six world events and present the information to Oprah for her to prepare for the new shows. Students are asked to voice their opinions on whether or not the U.S. should support the six world events including fatal disease, ethnic cleansing, natural disasters, terrorism, civil war, and religious persecution.

[|TV Titan WebQuest] This WebQuest was designed by MHCBE Elementary Math ICT Curriculum Support Team at Medicine Hat Catholic School for a math class. The idea is that aliens have landed on Earth and they want to replicate our entertainment industry on their planet, Eggbert.  The classes mission is to find the perfect show for 10-12 year olds. They are all experts in television viewing so the aliens hired them on the spot.
