Today I taught a group of Year 7/8 students. To extend on the work we had been doing on taking photos and videos we combined these to create an iMovie.
The topic was plants. Each student was given a sheet with QR codes that had links to videos, facts, songs and other information about the topic.
They were also given a think sheet that had 4 key questions that they needed to find the answers for.
The key was to get the students to realise that they could make a video about a non-fiction topic and that it is another way of sharing information. Most of their previous video experience was from acting out a play or being in character.
The final product was the 4 questions on their Think sheets been answered through the students: taking screen shots, uploading pictures, taking photos (all needed to be edited before importing) recording their voice, adding text, titles, music, sound effects.
All of the videos were very different although all giving similar information.
This was a one off lesson with no prior teaching about plants!
