Rock Collection Video Script
I’ve had a really difficult time getting any of my
audio to
record. I’ve tried several microphones
and get nothing with Audigy…I’ll continue to work on this, but wanted
the video
posted so it can be reviewed early and not make more work for my
professor at
the end of the class.
Well, it’s the last week and I’m still not doing
well on the
audio. I may have to just give in…I hate
that, but, I’m just about out of time and still working to get all the
CSS
requirements into my pages. Here is the
script that goes with the video.
- Title/Intro – Team Viking Rock
Collection. Into, Bark at the Moon(the
most requested song for me to play when I have my guitar in the
classroom for exploratory)
- The rock collection is something that
many students complain about, but it’s really not that tough. If you take a few hints and get started early,
there’s nothing to it. TMS is a good
starting point. A large number of students
walk home after school. When you leave the
building, you’re moments away from easy sample collecting.
I know that there are busers, which I’ll help in later video.
- When most students leave school they
head north out the main doors and pass this parking lot.
If you were to head toward the maintenance building, you’d
see that there are many samples just waiting to be found and picked up. Another option would be to ask your Advisory
teacher for permission to use part of the fitness Friday outdoor
session to go here.
- A closer look shows a gravel driveway. Most gravel around here comes from glacial
deposits and contains most of the samples you’ll need.
Of course they’re pretty dirty and will need to be cleaned
and split to find a fresh surface, but this is an easy source.
- Another option, for walkers or for
those who waste 3-4 hours after school hanging around on Fridays
waiting for the football game to start, is to take the 5 minute walk
from TMS to Drake Well. Here is a great
source for cleaner rocks and larger samples that you and your friends
can split to make smaller samples.
- Oil Creek is easy to access here AND
they also have a gravel parking lot in the back. Oil
Creek is full of samples just waiting to be found.
They are a it bigger and will need to be split, but they are
cleaner and easy to find. Just be careful
not to fall in.
- Here are some of the many samples to
be found on the banks of Oil Creek. EASY
huh?
- A small set of about 5 samples that
are required, found within seconds of arriving on the shore.
- Then there is the parking
lot/driveway…more easy samples here! Not
much work finding samples so far. Look at
all those little samples. A little
cleaning and you're set to start your tests.
- CAUTION!!! When
you see this mainly grey color in a driveway, you’ll find few samples. Most of this is made up of only one rock type. Pick up a couple of samples to test later, but
be careful here. This is also found at
Drake Well. Now get out there and start
this collection early. Don’t be that
little girl jumping for leaves in the rain.(there is a back story here
that the kids will understand)
- Credits accompanied by Metallica's
Master of Puppets(another frequently requested song) It's a long
song, so the 10% permitted under copyright guidlines isn't approached
here)
