"LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!"
|
|
The “Lights, Camera, Action!” Shakespeare Film Project is an opportunity to utilize educational technology, while fostering students’ communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking skills.
Students learn about William Shakespeare, read a middle school version of one of his plays, identify key plot elements and themes, brainstorm a modern retelling idea, write a film script and then produce a short film.
The students are “hired” for jobs including director, writer, camera person, actor, film editor and crew.
The students will also view and evaluate all the films during a Shakespeare Fest.
Several schools participated in the film project during the 2018-2019 school year including King, Brown, Bunche and Inman Middle Schools.
