Video Log Assignment

Each week, watch two video clips from The NewsHour on Public Broadcasting System (PBS) and fill out a Video Log on each.

Follow these steps:

1.       Download the   Template   so that you can use it again and again.

2.      Go to The Public Broadcasting System NewsHour video archives at  http://www.pbs.org/newshour/video/

3.      Choose a category.  (Note:  During the term, you may not do more than two clips from the same category.)

4.      Choose a clip. (Note: Any clip you watch on this website is acceptable.  However, you may want to avoid interviews and watch a report, which will have more interesting video. Avoid descriptions like "Two experts discuss..." )

5.      Watch the video.  You may want to read the transcript in the pull-down menu. 

6.      Email me the link to the clip using "E-mail this!" on the page.

John Smith #2

            You don’t need to send a message.

8.      Put the completed form in your special notebook.

9.      Add the log to your table of contents. 

10.    Hand in your video log notebook on the assigned day.
