This document provides instructions for students on completing Step 3 of Exercise 1 in a multimedia journalism class. It outlines that lab time is provided to work on projects in class and outside of class hours. Students are instructed to open a Windows Movie Maker project file on their USB drive and import photos and a script from course materials folders. They are then asked to record narration using the script as a guide and save the audio file. The document notes that two tabs are now available to work with video and narration tools separately. It concludes by reminding students to gather their own video and audio materials to edit in class and that their semester project is a major part of their grade.

2. LAB WORK STRUCTURE
• LAB TIME is built into the structure of the class in order to work on
projects. Even so, students work at different speeds so there are also
OPEN LAB hours you can use to work on your projects outside of
regular class meetings.
• LAB TIME is provided so you can stay on track with specific project
steps in a teaching environment.
• You can also download the software we use to work on your projects
outside of class.
• We have to stay together as a class so once the class lab time
allotted for a project is completed, we’re moving on. Remember -
NO CREDIT FOR LATE WORK! You will have plenty of time to
complete projects, but in order to do so you must attend class and
use the allotted time wisely

3. WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER
• WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER is a video editing
program that is “non-linear” which means it is
digital and non-destructive. No matter what you do
in the program, you don’t alter your original files
(unless you specifically delete them)
• It comes bundled with Windows and you can
download it for free for your own use (it is being
phased out)
• All digital video editing programs work on a similar
structure
• ALWAYS PLUG YOUR HEADPHONES IN BEFORE
STARTING PROGRAM!
