Here the students worked on entrances and exits of characters, voice levels, and movement of the characters. After the play was completed, it was played back to the students and critiquing the project began. Editing the video, transitions, titles, and sound effects were now added. The list of materials used includes a large cardboard box, large pieces of scenery paper, crayons, markers, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, tape, glue, a curtain, a digital video camera, the iMac G-3 with iMovie capability, and a large screen television. Modeling Students were able to view and enjoy their finished product, as well as explaining the process of making the iMovie.
Students are able to compare their work with that of another class of similar aged students.
Grouping The grouping of students was done heterogeneously at the K-4 level. In a regular classroom students would be grouped according to interest and ability. Other areas incorporated are a technology crew, scriptwriters, and puppeteers. Guided Practice Actual practice of the play with volunteers would become useful for guided practice. This is especially helpful in the lower elementary grades.
