b.) Creatively Synthesize Information- In your own words, synthesize what you learned from your search using at least 3 sources. Using your synthesis, create a story board map for the video that you will create. This will be a rough draft of the video you intend to make. Use the design space below or the yellow sticky notes provided to you to map out your idea. Consider how to make your content multimodal: W//ill you enact a concept? Will you use movie images creatively? Will you combine images and sound? Will you be a talking head?//

The US government has intervened during the Japanese nuclear crisis by providing a variety of aid. The US military has helped with recovery missions, search and rescue efforts, and by distributing food and water to those displaced by the nuclear threat. Expert help was also sent by the US government to evaluate and help Japanese first responders. The US also provided robotic devices to enter the meltdown area in order to detect radiation leaks. US drones were used and are still being used to survey and detect radiation.

c.) Create your video using the FLIP camera provided to your group. Tables 1-7 give Sinky your Flip camera and table 8-13 give yours to Erin so they can download the video clips; they will finalize the collaborative video product.
