If you missed your last class before the holiday break, you missed hearing about our movie trailer work that will will be focusing on to finish up our Short Story unit.
In groups, you will read a short story that I've selected (this helps to ensure that the connections you are making are meaningful and relevent) and create a movie trailer for it.
We will be going over the elements of a trailers and creating success criteria together (and then merged for all 8 classes) during the first week of class, and then off to the library to use the iPads.
We will be using the iPads to search for movie clips and graphics as well as creating your own videos and graphics. The mobile computer lab is booked solid, so we don't have access to it.
Students who are comfortable bringing in their iPads or laptops to schools with iMovie or Movie Maker on it to actually create the trailers. The iPads at our school do not have iMovie on them currently (it is on our school wish list). Our success with this project will be dependent on availablity of student technology. In class, approximately 4-5 students confirmed that they could bring in their own technology.
iMovie is available for download for $4.99
Windows Movie Marker is available for free
