10 Steps to Vodcasting: Evaluate and Practice
Step 4: Evaluate
Once the script is written, read it out loud to the group. Does it flow? Is it within the time parameters? Does everyone know their role? I put a 3 x 3 grid up on the board. In the first column answer the question: What’s working? The second column asks “What can we improve?” The third column is titled “I think I’ll try something new.” As students review their script and look at what they have created, have them fill out a large sheet (I use a sketch pad) with at least one to three comments per category.
Step 5: Practice
This step is where the students practice. They need to practice handling a mic, choosing a place to film, timing the script, practice, practice, practice.
