I used Glogster last year when we were studying movie vocabulary. Students picked a favorite movie, and created an interactive movie poster using http://www.glosgster.com/ The website allows students to make an online poster, and also allows them to attach movie clips, sound bytes, and photos. The students enjoyed using this program, and the posters turned out well. (I can't attach one because I have forgotten my log-in information at the moment...oops!)
Project requirements:
1) Pick a movie that you know well
2) Write a 40 word synopsis of the film, using at least 8 new vocabulary words
3) Choose a character from the film and write a 20 word character description
4) Find a picture of the movie, or a film clip from You Tube
I did run into a few problems where I couldn't see some of the students' submissions. I'm not sure if it was an error that they made, or if it was an error on the program itself. I ended up just exempting those students from the grade, and gave them participation points.
Sounds like fun. Is this a French 4 project? Can you show me some examples? I tried it last year but the internet didn't work.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! What level was this?
