Tell Me a Video Story

I chose to create a video using Animoto. I was a little intimidated at first since I don't have too much experience with video creation, but once I got started it was pretty simple and intuitive. 
The lesson I made on demonyms could be part of a flipped classroom experience where students studied the demonyms at home and then discussed them in class.
I don't think it would be very difficult at all to have students use this site to create videos of their own. One idea I had was the have students create their own short flipped lessons, much like the video I created, then have a classmate or classmates do the lesson. This would be a good way for students to demonstrate both a grasp of the content knowledge but also their ability to both follow and give instructions. Such is in the learning indicator that reads, "Students follow oral and written directions to participate in classroom activities, and provide directions to peers in selected interactions." ( ESL.C.9-12.4.1.7) I could assess these points in a few ways, how well the student created the video, the video's content, and was the lesson successful with the peer who completed it.

  1. I liked the cultural aspect. It was also a good idea grammatically to show that some of the words have different endings so for example you didn't pick all words that end in -an, e.g. American, Canadian, German. You had a nice variety. Excellent. The pictures of the leaders added a nice touch.
