Bell Ringer:
Would you like to be able to make a movie like the one at this link?
What if I told you you can by using iMovie?
Response:I think students would be excited to learn that it would be possible for them to make a movie using technology because our lives are revolving around technology more and more.
Objectives:
SWBAT make a documentary using iMovie.
They will know the essential skills they will need to use in the program
They will know how to import clips and music to make the video even better
Response:
I think students will look forward to the challenge of using a different type of technology. Especially the fact that they can use music and almost anything else they want to.
Lecture/Discussion:
How do we get clips from the internet and into our movies?
What do we need to put between the clips in order to make the movie go smoothly?
How do we put transitions in?
Response:
I think students will think to themselves that this will be a challenge. I also believe that they will want to do this because they will be able to take it with them and show it to their families.
