I've gotten a little done on the movie. It's tough finding time. On a more positive note, I have done some planning for my upcoming 3-day moviemaking workshop in March. A number of teachers have expressed interest, both teachers at the school and some from other schools.
This has led me to another idea. There are a number of teachers in my county who have been to one of my introduction to moviemaking workshops. But I think relatively few of them have actually took the final step and done a student movie project.
We have workday coming up at the end of March. I'm thinking about doing an all-day or half-day workshop on making a class project. It would be only for people who have had a moviemaking class or feel confident in their skills. The idea would be to spend the entire time working on a lesson or unit plan incorporating movie making. We would do everything from the initial idea to rubrics and 5-point lesson plans. I would also be able to incorporate the inventories I am working on of what each school has. This will help the teachers make a plan that uses what they already have.
I'm off to pitch this idea to a few teachers and see what they think.

Busy? Teachers not interested in doing addition work for development? Sounds all to familiar. Keep up with your posts as you have things to report. I am sure you will have lots to report soon.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of getting teachers involved. Stress to them that these activities are truly engaging to the students and can be for teachers as well.
Good luck.
