February is Black History Month and I am working with some teachers to help students produce research videos.
The video above is one I completed as a student/teacher
sample.
The students have to produce a video that has 12 slides (or
pictures). When I broke it down as follows to them they really only had to find
eight facts:
1. The first slide has to contain a title and the
students name
2. Where and when the person was born
3. Fact #1 (full sentence)
4. Fact #2
5. Fact #3 (by now tell me what he/she is famous
for)
6. Fact #4
7. Fact #5
8. Fact #6
9. Fact #7
10. Fact #8
11. The year they died (or anything of note after
they died)
12. Credit slide – where did they get their facts (This
was made in their educreations app. They took a screen shot of it and edited it
in the photo editor)
I was giving students three class periods to do the project.
Day 1 – Pick your person and do your research (if they
couldn’t pick someone they pulled one out of a hat)
Day 2 – Get all your pictures
Day 3 – Put it together in iMovie
Note - I got the Billie Holiday song off of YouTube but
students would be expected to narrate and use music that is offered in iMovie.
I did say if any child picked a musician I would be happy to download music for
them and upload it to their Google drive for use.
