This project is a 30 second or so long preview to the book "Holes" by Louis Sachar. We thought it would be a good lead, or hook to get the kids that hadn't read the book excited to read it. The story board explains what we had planned to do, and we anticipated it taking around 10 slides in about 30 seconds. We would then turn the project over to the students. They would be instructed to create a similar hook for a book that they had read, citing pictures they captured from the internet, and creating pictures of their own.
The technology used in the project is pretty obvious. We would use a movie making program, and digital pictures to create this trailer. Between the technologies used to create the trailer, the 5th grade science core Standard 1 Objective 2, and the pedagogy of allowing students to make their own decisions, I think this is a fantastic combination of TPAC in the classroom.
But you don't have to take my word for it... ba dum bum!
our project is going to be AWESOME! it is a great way to have the children make their own decisions.
ReplyDeleteLewis this sounds like a great lesson. I know if I were a student in your class I wouldn't want to do this lesson. HA HA just kidding I would be privileged to do anything you invent!!
ReplyDeleteI like how you talked about letting the children create things from nothing! I think it's very important for children to create things and feel like they accomplished something "new." It sounds like your project will be great!
