Assignment #4: My Video Plan

After looking through the Utah Core Curriculum for Family and Consumer Science Education I decided to talk about the nutritional values and functions of carbohydrates as well as teaching my students the proper preparation guidelines related to carbohydrates. In my video I will be teaching my students how to prepare pasta ( a carbohydrate). I will do this by showing my students just one way pasta can be prepared, into a wonderful dish: Mac and cheese.
So far I have spent a lot of time looking for pictures and sounds that are within the public domain that I can use. It has kind of been a challenge finding stuff that is really within the public domain. I have also worked out a storyboard for myself. This is what I have so far:
1.) Introduce myself and the topic, carbohydrates.
2.) What is the nutritional value and function of carbohydrates? Where are carbs found?
3.) On the topic of carbohydrates, I will be demonstrating how to prepare carbohydrates as I make a favorite carbohydrate dish, mac and cheese.
4.) To start the dish we need to cook the carbohydrates. How?
5.) Then we work on making the carbohydrates into a yummy dish (mac and cheese). First we start with a roux. What is a roux? Equal fat and flour.
6.) Show myself making the roux and when to know it is done.
7.) Show the final product. Yummy cooked mac and cheese.

I plan to get started filming my video soon, which I do not think will be bad at all. I think I might have a harder time editing it. I am not that familiar with macs or video editing software so I am sure I am in for a challenge. So far I would say I have spent about two hours on my project. I still have to film and compile and edit everything though so I am sure I have many more hours to spend on it.
