Before you leave for Montréal you are going to make your own video about what your life is like at Boise State University to share with the new friends you make.  Using your phone or computer make a video to showcase the activities you do in Boise outside of class, both on and off campus and the some buildings where you have your courses.  Things to consider include sports that you play and where you play them, and activities related to the arts such as music, film, theater, and visual arts.  You may want to include where you eat and/or cook, activities you do at the Student Union Building or in the library.  Off campus activities may include where you shop, activities on the Greenbelt or at the river, and skiing, snowboarding, or skateboarding.

Part One:

To begin this assignment, you will create an outline of the activities you plan to showcase in your video.  You should include at least 4 locations, including the location where you have at least one class at Boise State. For each location, you should write a full sentence describing what you do at this location and how often you participate in that activity.

  • For example if you are writing about your kitchen you may say, “Ici, je fais à manger tous les jours.”
  • When showing a building on campus where you have a class, be sure to name the specific course that you take in the building, the days of week you have the class and the time it starts.

You will now revise your outline based on the feedback from your instructor. Next, you will record your video to share with new friends and classmates in Montreal. Remember that YOU MUST SPEAK ONLY IN FRENCH DURING THE ENTIRE VIDEO.

  1. For your video you must include at least 4 locations.  At least one location must be where you have a class at Boise State.
  2. For each location tell the viewer which activity you do at this location and how often you participate in that activity.
    • For example if you are showing your kitchen you may say, “Ici, je fais à manger tous les jours.”
    • When showing a building on campus where you have a class, name the specific course that you take in the building, the days of week you have the class and the time it starts.
  3. Remember that the video should be polished and display enthusiasm. You may use one of the following tools to record your video:
    • Adobe Express Video (You can include accompanying visuals with this tool)
    • Canva (You can include accompanying visuals with this tool)
    • Record a video using a mobile device, tablet or web camera. (The WLRC has devices available for check out!)
