Mr. Krupa's Xtranormal Class

You will each have a topic from the Cold War.  You need to research the topic using the school district databases or credible websites.  Focus on the basics- who, what, where, when and how.  You will then create an Xtranormal account and make a movie where two actors discuss your topic.  The movie should explain your topic so that someone who knows nothing about it, would understand the event.

Xtranormal Introduction

Xtranormal Example

SCSD Databases
Try using ABC Clio- World at War or Encyclopedia Britannica
 
See Mr. Krupa for the research sheet, requirements and Xtranormal directions.

Please email the link of your published movie to Mr. Krupa  at mkrupa@scsd.us
