Students will view the videos and have a chance to have a hand in grading them. ** ACTION ** Prior to this lesson, we will complete the lesson //Lets Get Progressive// in which students will work in groups to create informational pamphlets on the social, economical, and political problems faced during the Progressive Era and how those problems were dealt with. Students will also relate those problems to issues we currently see in the United States today. In a second lesson, students will set up a Wiki site in which students will be creating a page for their information with the other period of US History. ** During Class  ** ** Time  ** || ** Instructional Activities  ** || ** Materials & Resources  ** || ** (Days   **  **  1-3)  ** ||  Students will review the information about the Progressive Era from the previous lessons. In their groups, students will read over the requirements for the video project and will collaborate with their group members on creating a storyboard for their project. The story board will be turned in on the third day to be approved by me. Students can use their pamphlets, Wikis, notes, textbooks, or any other resources in Library that are available to create their story boards. Story boards can be created by hand or on the computer. || **  Student created pamphlets and wikis from previous lessons  ** ** Library ** ** Media ** ** Center ** ** Video Project Sheet  ** || ** (Day 4)  ** ** Whole Class  ** || Students will receive their storyboards back and make any necessary revisions. If they are all set, they will need to plan when, where, and how they will be recording their videos. Students may begin recording their video after school today. || **  Revised Story Boards   ** || ** (Day 5)  ** ** Whole Class  ** || Students will view 2-3 projects from previous years to see what methods they used. Students should focus on the filming and editing; they will be told not attempt to change their storyboards to match their content just to view the filming/editing styles. || **  Projects from previous years  ** || ** (Days 6-8)  ** ** Whole Class  ** || Students will bring in their completed filming and dump the video into the computers in the lab. Over t he course of 3 days, students will edit and finalize their videos. Students will be asked to add transitions, music, or anything else that is applicable. Students will be required to create a copy without recording mistakes. ELL students will be allowed to film in all Spanish as long as subtitles are added to the video during the editing process. The ESL teacher and the students themselves will work on creating subtitles for the videos. ||  ** Library ** ** Media ** ** Center ** ** Microsoft Movie Maker Video Editing Software  ** || ** (Day 9)  ** ** Whole Class  ** || Students will view their classmates’ videos. Using a teacher created rubric, students will grade each others videos based (4) areas: //historical accuracy, creativity, video filming/editing, and overall presentation//.

Students in period 6 and 9 will view each other’s videos on the final two days of the project. ELL students will be allowed to film in their native languages as long as they create subtitles in their video. //   ** MONITOR ** ** Ongoing Assessment(s): ** This project along with the Wiki and Pamphlets will all be counted as project grades (single test grades). Students will be taking a multiple choice (NYS Regents questions) and Reform Movement Document Based Question Essay. ** Accommodations & Extensions: ** ELL students will be allowed to film in their native languages as long as they create subtitles in their video. ** Backup Plan: ** If students have difficulty finding video equipment I will block off time after school in which they can use the school’s equipment to film their videos. Specific roles and an agreeable time to film need to be established for each group if the assignment is to be completed outside of the class. If the Library is unavailable, we can use the computer lab. ** EVALUATE & EXTEND ** ** Lesson Reflections & Notes: ** As a class, we will view and grade all of the projects together as a class. This will be a form of entertainment as well as a form of review for the students before their unit test.
