Realistic+Fiction+Stories+on+the+Green+Screen+(May)


 * Realistic Fiction **

Students have spent the past month so working on realistic fiction writing. The unit began with students learning strategies on how to write fiction. After spending a week generating ideas in notebooks, students then chose a story idea to develop. Students developed main characters focusing on physical traits, inner traits, and their character's wants and needs. Students used a story mountain for planning their story and relied on it when writing the drafts. They learned how to stretch out each scene from the story and to write using dialogue instead of summarizing their character's feelings. Most importantly, the t hings that students learned in the revision and editing process were moved forward in the writing process.

In addition to a published copy of the stories, students read their story in front of the green screen. Students did this project all by themselves.
 * They made three to five illustrations for the green screen.
 * They practiced reading their story with expression, making eye contract and using gestures.
 * Students filmed each other in front of the green screen.
 * They edited their work in iMovie.
