&lt;p class="Default"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;Think of this as your global
platform to draw attention to something that is important to you.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;When creating your video project, please keep
the following questions in mind: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default" style="margin-left:1in;text-indent:-0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;1.&lt;span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal;font-family:&amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;If you had only
60 seconds, and the whole world was your audience, what would you say?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default" style="margin-left:1in;text-indent:-0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;2.&lt;span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal;font-family:&amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;What would be the
best way to get your message across? With music?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;With pictures?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;With words?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Would a combination of all three work best or should you just stick with
one?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default" style="margin-left:1in;text-indent:-0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;3.&lt;span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal;font-family:&amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;What is the
purpose of your video?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;What is your
message?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Do you want to make people
aware of something?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Do you want to call
for an action?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;Important items to remember: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;Each video should

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;Do not &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;include student last names or ages in your video. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Symbol;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal;font-family:&amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;Videos should be
both informative and visually appealing. Use primary sources where possible.
Please cite all sources at the end of your video. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Symbol;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal;font-family:&amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;Where possible,
students should do the talking. Young ePals around the world are most
interested in listening to their peers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Symbol;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal;font-family:&amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;If your students
are under the age of 13, please be sure that you have parents sign permission
slips that permit their children&amp;rsquo;s likenesses to be posted on our website. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default" style="margin-left:0.75in;text-indent:-0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Symbol;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal;font-family:&amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;Please feel free
to have students speak in your native language. But remember, many students who
will not be native speakers will be watching the video. Speak clearly. English
subtitles are a great addition if your video is competed in another language.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Default"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
