brief lesson on Imovie with the students

C. Practice-
1. In pairs, students will begin to build their trailer in class.
I will circulate to help them and will also have a technology specialist
come by to check in for any Imovie questions I can't answer
|
| |
|

D. Independent Practice-
1. Students will independently build their Imovie trailers. They
will be given time to explore what features work best for them.
2. Students are encouraged to do some voice overs with their trailers,
some "paper slide" like story telling, and use some music in their
trailer.

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1.Students who feel incredibly overwhelmed with Imovie or technology
in general can use the "trailer" feature of Imovie, which has abbreviated
features but can feel more manageable.
2. Students will be able to storyboard their trailer to check for
understanding and purpose
|
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
1. Students will story board their trailer before jumping in to
Imovie. I iwll check their storyboard before giving them the "ok"
to move ahead.
2. Students will preview their Imovie with me at least once before
presenting it to the class.
3. Students will present their final Imovie trailer to the class receiving
written feedback from me on presentation, purpose, and theme |

|
|
G. Closure-
1. As a class we will discuss the distinct themes and purposes of
each trailer
2. As a class we will discuss "why does it matter," reflecting an
understanding of the power of media to send and spread a message and
affect change. |
