Vod Casting
Vod Casting
Brainstorming...
- Grammar lessons - students can make a vod cast to teach or reinforce a lesson on a grammar topic. They would use the images to reinforce their spoken words. Grammar Girl does post casts of many grammar topics. Perhaps I could have my students take one of the podcasts (or part of one) and turn it into a vod cast with illustrations.
- Short Story Project - I do a project every year where students work in groups to demonstration their understanding of literary terms as applied to short stories. They always include some type of creative element or theme. Perhaps I could have them make vodcasts to fulfill a portion of the assignments (plot lines, characterization, theme, point of view.)
- Humorous passages in Great Expectations - Great Expectations is typically the students least favorite work each year, but it is actually very funny once they learn to understand it and how to read the humour. They could make a Vodcast where they would have to "play up" the humor and add illustrations.
You have some great ideas for the vodcast. I especially like the Great Expectations concept. I remember reading Shakespeare in high school and how boring the activities and projects were. Your vodcast idea would definitely make Great Expectations more fun.
ReplyDeleteI like all your ideas, but I especially liked the teaching grammar idea. Grammar can be so dry and boring, but if they know their stuff, it would be fun for the students to be in charge of the lesson and teach the concept. The students can be so creative, it would be interesting to see what they come up with.
