It’s My Life: Multimodal Autobiography Project

Thu May 24 11:32:08 -0700 2007

By: Melissa Sargent

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

Thu May 24 11:28:41 -0700 2007

By: Melissa Sargent

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.
