( Below this post you will find a post with all the student's reflections on the Rock Opera - scroll down)
During Independent reading this week, the students were asked to think about being able to say something specific that they liked about their books. It could be a plot element, a character or a description but it had to be specific. Two days later, I had the brainstorm to record these comments. In other words, I sprung the idea on them. We didn't have time for many retakes and no one was able to review their video.
The class seemed to enjoy the process. They were mostly quiet and respectful while classmates sat in the front of the classroom and recorded into my laptop. Understandably, a few students could not overcome the strangeness of watching themselves on the screen while being filmed. We are working on that. We used the built in iSight for ease of set up so we could get the most learning about books from the process and minimize futzing with the technology. Hope you enjoy the show! The music is from British musician and visual artist Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam aka "M.I.A" .
Have a great vacation!
