Learning Sequence

 

Description                                                                                                                 Time:

INTO

Introduction/Motivation/Focus Attention:

·         The teacher will review the novel that the children have just read.

·         Students will help the teacher go through the major events.

 

Description                                                                                                                 Time:

THROUGH

Learning activities (input, modeling, checking for understanding, guided practice, independent practice)

·         The teacher will tell the students that they are going to create a “deleted scene” from the book, as if it were a movie.

·         Students will work in small groups of 3-4.

·         Students will need to create a story board to hand into the teacher.

·         Students will then use video cameras and an electronic movie maker to record and then edit their movie.

·         The movie will be 2-4 minutes long.

·         The teacher will show the class the basics of editing a movie.

·         This lesson includes technology, so it will appeal to most students.

 

Description                                                                                                                 Time:

BEYOND

Closure (review, checking for understanding, summarize, future forecast, transition).

The students will have a ‘movie day’ where there is popcorn and watch the deleted scenes.

 

Pre-planning

·         Gathering materials

·         Teaching students how to use the software

·         Bringing in props for students to record with.

Challenges

·         It would take a few class periods

·         Students would be in charge of their own movies and it might be difficult to let them do this, it is a very flexible assignment and things could get chaotic.
