Showcase: Show What You Made

You will present one of your digital media pieces to a classmate and explain its purpose. Then review a peer's work on intent and craft with specific comments, quickly check honesty and credit, name one priority change, and apply one note to improve your own piece.

    1 - Start ~2 mins

    Key point

    One piece. A usable note. One change.

    Across the editing work you finished three pieces: an image with text, a thirty-second voice clip, and a short video with a transition and layered sound. Today you put one piece in front of a classmate, get back a note that points at a moment and tells you what to change, then make that one change and save it.

    2 - Examine and Discuss ~8 mins

    Two students reviewed the same twelve-second sports-day clip: a throw-in, a header, then a cut to the goal, with a short commentary line layered under it.

    Review AReview B
    Nice edit, maybe make it shorter.The cut at four seconds lands mid-word on the commentary. Move it two frames later so the line finishes, then the header lands clean.

    In pairs, name three things B does that A does not. Be ready to share one with the room.

    A usable note points at a specific moment and names the change. A friendly vague line leaves the maker with nothing to do.

    3 - Hands-on: Review a Classmate's Piece ~14 mins

    Pick one of the three pieces you made. Pair up with someone nearby. Open your piece beside theirs.

    1. In one sentence each, say what you intended your piece to do and who it was for.
    2. Work through the interactive activity on their piece only. In class, do Intent and Craft: set a level, then write a comment that points at a specific moment. Then give Honesty and Credit a quick level tick (a short comment only if something jumps out).
    3. Finish by naming the ONE change that would improve their piece most.
    4. Swap so both of you leave with a review. About five minutes on their piece, then swap. Two solid comments beat four empty ones.
    Key point

    A judgement with no specific comment is no use. Point at the moment, not the whole piece.

    Review their piece

    4 - Your Turn: Act on One Note ~10 mins

    You now have a review of your own piece. Use it.

    • Read every comment once without changing anything yet.
    • Pick the single note you agree with most. It does not have to be the one they marked as priority.
    • Make that one change to your piece now. If the note needs a big rebuild, change the smallest version of it you can show in five minutes (one cut, one level, one line of text) and save. Note anything you would finish later under the file.
    • Save the revised piece the class way so it is still there next time.
    Key point

    Done looks like: one deliberate change visible in the file, and the file saved where the class keeps work.

    5 - Make Sense ~3 mins

    In pairs, finish this sentence:

    The note that actually helped was usable because it ___.

    Be ready: one voice from the room will share.
