JOURNAL: 
What do you think you've earned on your English Journal for Week 4?
I believe I have earned a ___ (1=lowest, 5=highest) because _____________________.

1. Dramatization

• Dramatization is a VERB that means "to adapt (a novel or other work) as a play or movie" 
• TODAY your task is to dramatize the way our authors say we make decisions
• That means you are writing a script and acting out a short film 

2. Film Script 

• There is a template for a film script HERE
• ONE person at your group clicks "make a copy" to download the template 
• Share it with the others at your table AND me (cdaniel@sandi.net) 
• Ask Manny to make sure you did it correctly
• Here are your assignments for the script: 

PURPLE TABLE: How Iyengar says we make decisions
          automatic vs. reflective decision-making systems 

YELLOW TABLE: How O'Brien says we make decisions
          quietly, in your own headspace OR until you're pushed to the edge 

GREEN TABLE: How Sandel says we make decisions
          we have to talk other people to make good decisions  

BLUE TABLE: How Frost says we make decisions 
          at every fork in the road, a decision must always be made 

3. Using Flipgrid to Film your Videos

• Use your stu.sandi.net login to get onto Flipgrid (click this link!)

• Get yourself to this screen: 
  
• Scroll down to watch the video of me explaining your assignment: 
  
• Watch the video of me explaining the assignment, then write your script with your teammates (link above) 
• When you're ready to FILM, scroll a little lower on that page and find the green plus sign.

• Click on the plus sign to start filming (allow Flipgrid access to the Chromebook's camera and microphone)
  
• Film your skit/play/film by placing your Chromebook on a table/chair and acting out your script
• When you are done, Flipgrid will tell you to take a selfie for the title card. Please get all of your faces in it so I can see who participated. 
• Title your video with the name of your author. Ex: Iyengar, O'Brien, Sandel, or Frost
• Submit the video and make sure you shared your script with me! (cdaniel@sandi.net)
• Your video will not show up until I approve it, so don't stress when you don't see it available. I will moderate the videos over the weekend and evaluate your work!
