- Students will be able to plan and execute their projects, and to follow a time schedule to complete their work.
- Students will become familiar with copyright infringements by using only public domain photographs and film clips from sites such as the Internet Archive.
- Students will be able to assist one another before presenting their works to their classrooms; sharing their knowledge with others, deepens one's own knowledge.
- Students will be able to use the two iMacs in the Library Media Center to Create their Video Presentation on the country of the origin of their chosen language.
The intent is to teach the basics of iMovie, including:
- Planning stages and storyboarding
- Creating an iMovie project with a theme incorporating their research and new language skills
- Importing stills and video
- Editing skills on trimming video and adding sound clips and voiceovers
- Add title and a bibliography or credits page
- Presenting their final video clip to their individual classes
Essential Questions:
- What did I learn from this project that I can teach someone else about?
- What diagrams or pictures or video clips can I use to help illustrate what I have discovered in my study of a language and its country of origin?
- How can I express and explain what I've researched and learned in a clear manner to someone else?
