It’s My Life: Multimodal Autobiography Project

Thu May 24 14:29:54 -0700 2007

Change to Podcast- In this lesson, students write autobiographies, illustrating the stories and setting them to music. Music is a powerful tool to evoke emotion, and students will carefully select songs to accompany the stories from lives. Students brainstorm lists of important events in their lives, along with images and music that represent those events. They then create storyboards in preparation for the final PowerPoint project, which they present to their peers in class. If PowerPoint is unavailable, students might create posters and play soundtracks using cassette or CD players.

Blogging With Photovoice: Sharing Pictures in an Integrated Classroom

By: Vicky Frank

Photovoice is a technique that has participants take photos in response to a prompt, reflect on the meaning behind three of their photos, and share the photos to find common themes. It is an ideal strategy for all forms of classrooms, from those with only severely learning disabled and cognitively impaired students to integrated classes. In this lesson, students are given a prompt, take photographs in response to it, post reflections on a blog, and search for commonalties while relating the pictures back to characters in texts they have read. It can be used as a prewriting activity for essays or other assignments.

ReadWriteThink: Lesson Plan: MyTube: Changing the World With Video Public Service Announcements

Chances are that your students are all watching and enjoying YouTube in their spare time. Take advantage of their interest–and practice important critical thinking and literacy skills–by having them make and edit their own videos that deal with important social, economic, and political topics. After viewing examples of online public service announcements (PSAs), students probe the multiple meanings of these video texts by asking challenging, open-ended questions. They use their responses and a Persuasion Map tool to write scripts for their own PSAs. Students then create short video clips and use Windows Movie Maker to edit their videos.
