Hope you are having fun! Based upon some of the calls and messages I received, I can see and sense the excitement among kids relating to this month\u2019s fun assignment. In this message I am summarizing the points I shared.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the wonderful activities and amazing hands-on projects some kids presented at a part of the last month\u2019s assignment on the idiom \u201c<strong>Necessity is the mother of inventions<\/strong>\u201d, we decided to take it to the next level as a part of this month\u2019s assignment. Instead of the traditional assignment where kids write and speak on the topic, this month, they will share video recordings of engaging activities (mainly some <strong>hands-on projects<\/strong>) that they <strong>invented or tried for the first time<\/strong>. It could be a project (science, arts, computer, cooking, drawing etc.), game they invented, fun-skill they acquired, or anything they feel proud of sharing with others.<\/p>\n<p>Now coming to what needs to be recorded, the video needs to cover one or more of the following aspects of kid\u2019s project:<br \/>\n&#8211; Concept,<br \/>\n&#8211; Planning,<br \/>\n&#8211; Arrangements,<br \/>\n&#8211; Implementation,<br \/>\n&#8211; Presentation<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concept<\/strong>: kids can start their video by sharing why they picked a particular project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Planning<\/strong>: here, kids can capture how they decided and put together a list of raw material and tools for the project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arrangement<\/strong>: in this phase, they can show how they arranged the raw materials for the project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Implementation<\/strong>: this is the phase where they actually work on the project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Presentation<\/strong>: This is the final demo part of the project. Along with showcasing their project, they will talk about what all challenges they faced and how they overcame them.<\/p>\n<p>For the video recording, kids will need parents\u2019 and\/or sibling\u2019s help. Let\u2019s make it a family fun exercise.<\/p>\n<p>If a kid is working alone on a project, the video must not be more than 3 minutes long. If multiple siblings are working together, the video can span as long as 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A few tips on making the video clip more appealing:<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Add audio\/visual effects to make it fun and professional.<br \/>\n2. Fast-forward some parts of the video.<br \/>\n3. Sometimes, it is easy to add audio commentary after compiling the whole video together. Do what makes more sense.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any question, please feel free to reach out to me.<\/p>\n<p>I am looking forward to watching fun and exciting presentations.<\/p>\n<p>Regards,<br \/>\nHarsh Mendiratta\ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is officially here \u2013 and schools are closed.
