Creativity Challenge #2: Music is Life
We know that everyone has a different life story. Some might be full of adventure, others filled with happiness; still others might be
a story of sadness and tears. Whatever you story might be, we want to hear it…but not in the traditional sense. No, you don’t have to write a paper or do any genealogy research. We want to hear it, literally! All you have to do is create a Grooveshark playlist that you feel sums you up in music and lyrics, submit the link for your playlist to teenzine@hclibrary.org during the month of February, and we will post your playlist on the Howard County Library Teen ‘Zine page. Happy music hunting!

Creativity Challenge #1
It’s September and everyone wants to know…what did you do over the summer? Well, don’t just tell us, show us!
What to do:
Create a 30-second Animoto video featuring highlights from your summer.
How to do it:
- Collect your favorite photos and videos from this summer. Between eight and ten photos or videos, and three-to-five second video clips will work best.
- Visit www.animoto.com. (You’ll need to set up a free account or sign in if you already have one.)
- Use the blue button in top right corner to “create video”.
- Choose your style. (Be sure to choose “create a 30-second video for free.”)
- Upload your photos and video. Put them in the order you like. Use the tools to spotlight special photos or add text to your project.
- Choose background music.
- Finalize your video.
- You can re-mix your project as many times as you’d like. Keep going until you’re happy with it!
How to get it to us:
- Copy the code to embed your video. (Under your video is a button to get to the “toolbox”. In the toolbox, click on the “embed” button. Click the “copy” button.)
- Paste the embed code in an e-mail and send it to teenzine@hclibrary.org. (Don’t forget to include your name in the e-mail!)
We’ll choose our favorites and post them to Teen ‘Zine.
Want to see a sample project? Here’s what we did, this summer. We spent it with you!
We can’t wait to see what you did, this summer!
