As the final product for a persuasive writing unit, the students will take their essays, which should be done by now (Hopefully!), and render them for broadcasting. Each student will take on the role of a newscaster (from a network of their choice e.g CNN, FOX, Comedy Central) and present the information in an appropriate manner, remembering, of course, to keep the network's demographics, and such, in mind. For my sample I took on the role of a newscaster from The Onion reporting on unsettling guidelines that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) abides by for checking the quality of food.
As for the woes... Okay, so the reason for the picture and not the video: iMovie, apparently, according to the man at the "Genius Bar," at Apple, said, "iMovie is finicky and it sometimes reads files as corrupt for no reason, because of which it isn't going to let you export or finalize your film." So, here we are! Enjoy the photo (You gotta love how unattractive stills are!)!
P.S. It was not as easy as it seems to come up with a solution. It was about a month after I started having problems that I was by Apple to just give up.
