Video Outline

Meet Mr. Walter Dean Myers
  1. Picture of WDM with jazz in the background
  2. Picture of Love That Dog and the story of how I first heard of WDM
  3. Brief biographical sketch with relevant pix
  4. Partial list of his works (poems, fiction, nonfiction)
  5. Recommendation
  6. Closing credits over pic of WDM
Hope this make sense. I have a very clear picture in my head of what I want to do, just not sure if I'm communicating it well. I'd love some suggestions or ideas.

FYI WDM is a writer I've done units on in the past. I'd love to have an introductory video to show. He's a very interesting man and has written some great stuff for adolescents.

Hey Maureen!!

I think your video outline is incredibly thorough and insightful. I like that you are discussing your connection to the author and providing information about his early life. Students need to know that writing helped WDM overcome his speech problems and helped him reach out the world. Despite many obstacles, he became a successful and well respected writer. Can't wait to see your video!
