Lights, Camera, Action!
Our students project to end the fairy tale unit is to create a movie for their chosen fairy tale. There are many layers to creating this movie and it will take the students a couple weeks to complete. They have to study their script, and parts by analyzing their character. Record their voices using expression. And act out the fairy tale using props and their creativity. Our first step was to have them analyze their lines by putting an emoji by each line representing how that character is feeling. This will help them to remember how they should read it aloud and what expression they should use. Second, they practiced reading the script through with their groups. It is really difficult for them to follow along without getting distracted AND remember to read with expression. I think with practice they will do great though! Third, they will record their script by taking turns on Garage Band. We gave them sandbox time to play with Garage Band the week before so that they are familiar with it. The narrator is the recorder and videographer. They are in charge of clicking record, pause, stop on Garage Band for the group. When they are done recording their script, as a team, they will go back in to edit. This will include cutting, trimming, and adding music to the background of their audio. Once they are done editing they will save the audio as a file to their iPad. The next, and almost final step, will be to upload the audio to iMovie and act out the script! This is where their creativity can shine through. They will be able to bring in props and dress the part. They will play their voices and act out the script using a pre-made scenic background. Once they are done acting each scene they will cut and edit their videos to match them with the audio. We will give them time to add any final touches and then share them out with the world! I am so excited to see what they create and so are they!
