When do you hand in the job shadow assignments? As soon as you complete them! Everyone will be doing this at different times. There will be no nagging by the teacher, so it’s up to YOU to get the work done and turned in!!!

8. What is the final project? Utilizing the digital video or images you captured on your job shadow, prepare a PowerPoint presentation or a movie using Windows Movie Maker on the career you shadowed. It should be 4-5 minutes in length. A PowerPoint should include at least 10 slides which should include graphics, transitions, animations, and a creative background (sound is optional). A Windows Movie should incorporate video, audio and images from the job shadow and must also include a list of sources consulted at the end of the movie. Sources are to be cited in MLA format utilizing a minimum of 5 sources.PowerPoint presentationWindows Movie Maker MLA
