Hook your students with your next topic using
iMovies and trailers. They are easy to create and you can set a mood of intrigue to bring
your students along into historical inquiry. Not only can one introduce a topic
of study, but why not yourself?
If you have an iOS
device you can easily create an iMovie or trailer. Trailers are great for a
minute intro and come with preset themes and templates. Even better,
Learning in Hand has storyboard planning sheets that make the production easier…especially
when having students create a short video demonstrating their mastery of a
topic.
If you or your students have access to iOS devices, select a
topic, storyboard the transcript, THEN find images to correlate/support the
text, have the script typed out and images in a folder labeled, and then
assemble your production. You and your students can share your videos by
emailing them if the file is not to large. An easier option is to upload your
movie or trailer from your device to YouTube (if you have a Gmail account, you
have a YouTube channel) and share via link or embed it on your teacher site.
Students can also share their YouTube video link with you by collecting them in
a Google Form for easier class management.
