**__Junior Video: The Three Little Pigs__** media type="custom" key="21233380" **Year level**: NE - Year 2 **Context**: Reading and writing, speech writing on the process, Inquiry Learning **Intentions**: Understanding the process of making a movie. Understanding that different people have different talents - making costumes, actors, scenery, making the props, masks etc. To understand that making a movie is different from doing a production (as has been done in the previous year). In the process of making a movie, often things can be completed out of sequence of the storyline but in finalizing the movie the sequence of events followed the story. Some work towards the imovie was done simultaneously (work on costumes, learning their lines being done at the same time). **Links to classroom practice**: Part of Inquiry was finding out: What is talent? What do we need to do to make a movie? Who will be responsible for what? Who is our audience? Practicing oral language - using phrasing, volume, intonation. Speech making - created criteria, created wrote their speeches,, practiced and presented on the process of making a movie. Written language - created a flip chart using their illustrations and captions **Interventions**: Used IWB to create flip charts of criteria and made a slide show of the story. Students used i-Pads to record each others speeches and then listen and talk about ways to improve them. Teacher walked/directed students through the process of creating the class movie using iMovie. **Impact on students’ learning / raising student achievemen**t: The whole process used a well known story but students rewrote it and acted it out - the character acting the part and the voice were not always the same person - a trick of movie making! Being able to record speeches and listen to themselves makes them aware of what needs to be improved. Excellent accurate help for their own reflections. "Hearing is believing." **Student voice/reflections**: Shaun's Speech explained the process: //"We made some masks. We painted the costumes for the pigs and the wolf. W////e put some pieces of paper with glue on the balloons. W////e hng them on the line to dry.// //Then we cut the top of the balloons, cut them in half then we put the ears, nose and eyes on the masks.// //Then we made the brick house out of cardboard. We glued the bricks on it and painted the roof red. We made the straw house and the stick house.// //We filmed it. We recorded the voices and some people acted. We all had turns acting. Mrs Hartmann filmed it.// //My whole family came to Hake has talent to see the show. It was fun because......................" Shaun// **Years 3/4 iMovie presentation of science experiments: Volcanoes** media type="custom" key="21233748" **Year leve**l: Years 3 - 4 **Context**: Reading non-fiction - finding facts and collating to show their learning to the class and school-wide assembly. **Intentions**: To sift and sort information and to list 10 facts about volcanoes and then present digitally. **Links to classroom practice**: Literacy, IT **Interventions**: Reading from non-fiction school journals. Presenting findings in iMovie or chosen presentation form. **Impact on students’ learning / raising student achievemen**t: improved focus for research, knowledge of how, and need to, validate facts, working co-operatively to modify facts to suit the anticipated audience level. **Student voice/reflections**: "Fun because we actually went outside to make things and take photos." "Interesting because our predictions of how the volcano would work, were wrong! We had to try different methods of experimentation to make a volcano work - trial and error." "Making the movie - because the process was different - we weren't having to write down on a piece of paper." "We got to add music, edit to include transitions, text and we were using digital photos and a video in our iMovie." "Working together works better because we can put in heaps of ideas, try them and pick the best after discussing and trialling them." "Motivation was good to have to do it on the computer."
