• JennXPenn

• RiceGum
• TheKingNappy
• First We Feast
• ESPN
• Dude Perfect
• Vlog Brothers

YouTube Time - Part 2

Greetings! Unfortunately, I still need to be out of town through today.

Your work today continues what you did last time by looking at different YouTube channels.

1. If you need to still complete and submit the work from last time, please do that.
2. Today you will push beyond the two channels you watched last time and select two more channels - do your best to choose channels as different as you can from your first two choices.
1. You can choose from the list of presenters from the annual VidCon conference
2. You can choose from the list of the most popular YouTube stars in the world right now
3. Complete these questions in a new Google doc, to be submitted to turnitin.com by the end of the period - note that this is a second assignment - this one is #2

• A link to the channel's home page
• Describe the content on this channel - which of these categories would you use to describe it? Why?
• Are there certain themes/ shots/ideas present in each video on the channel? Do certain characters reappear? Do the different videos link together like a television show, or is each one independent? (answer these questions in a short paragraph)
• Briefly describe the two videos you saw. Include links to them in your commentary.
• Who do you think is the main audience for this channel? Why?

YouTube Time!

Greetings! Unfortunately, I will not be with you again today because of a family emergency.
Since I want to be there for the other TV comedies, we are going to shift gears and I'm going to have you start a new unit today, focusing on YouTube!

Here's the plan:

1. Today you will start the process of analyzing YouTube channels by choosing two different YouTube channels to explore. 
2. If you have a favorite YouTube channel to start with, go for it. If not, then you should use the list of presenters from the annual VidCon conference
3. You will need to watch at least two videos from two different channels.
4. Complete these questions in a new Google doc, to be submitted to turnitin.com by the end of the period
1. A link to the channel's home page
2. Describe the content on this channel - which of these categories would you use to describe it? Why?
3. Are there certain themes/ shots/ideas present in each video on the channel? Do certain characters reappear? Do the different videos link together like a television show, or is each one independent? (answer these questions in a short paragraph)
4. Briefly describe the two videos you saw. Include links to them in your commentary.
5. Who do you think is the main audience for this channel? Why?

Comedy!

Over the past few weeks we've been watching a range of comedies together:

• Buster Keaton's Sherlock, Jr.
• Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times
• Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot

We'll also choose another comedy to watch together, as well as this compilation of classic comedy moments:

Then, it is your turn! Here is a link to your assignment about comedy films.
