This year you will be creating your own Plain English style videos, about Pompeii.
 * In Plain English**, is a special type of video making that allows you to create, quick, to the point, informative videos using narration and paper cut outs.

To get an idea of the type of project you are working towards, you should watch some of the video projects from last year's Pompeii/Joya project from the playlists above.

This year you will work on the storyboard using a copy of the document that your Humanities or English teacher has given you, which should contain a narrative script. Within your groups you will be split into pairs. Each pair will be responsible for certain sections of the storyboard.


 * Pair 1: Introduction to Joya de Ceren**


 * Why do we study Joya de Ceren?

 * Pair 2: Further Detail**s

The storyboard should be completed by May 23rd.
