Adaptation - Constructive Language Arts; Visualization and Characterization Videos
A. The nature of this case study is to expose students infusing their technology class and Language Arts class through a video in place of writing an essay which explores what they know and gathered from reading the novel “Tom Sawyer.”
B. In the case study video students have written scripts for their student made film to depict what they learned from the novel. The students are integrating each classmate’s ideas for the entire film. The students themselves are portraying the actual characters in the novel.
C. While viewing this case study I have come to realize although students have read the same literature either in out loud in class or individually, each child’s interpretation of the same scene or passage can differ from one another. I have also become aware that many students have probably shot videos from their cameras and mobile devices and even uploaded their videos onto social media sites, but not many students have had the chance or opportunity to write, cast, direct, film, and star in an interpretative short film before. By creating this film, students are able to express themselves freely and outside the box more than they would have in an essay. The film project also is a great avenue for students to visually express their creativity and imagination based on a novel.
D. I could see myself using this lesson and adapting it for my choir class when we begin studying the genre of operas. I would have my students listen and review a recording of an opera either translated to English from Italian or just in English and leave the interpretation to the students to decipher and later after careful analysis, have them act out an opera of their own.
E. I would rate this video a 4.5
