Project #13 Learning Plan #1

Project Based Learning Lesson Plan

Subject/ Grade Level: 11th Grade English Language Arts
Project Title: Scene Interpretation Video
Standard: CCSS. ELA- Literacy. RL. 11- 12. 7
Analyze multiple interpretations of a story, drama, or poem, evaluating how each version interprets the source text.
Project Details: The students will be put into groups of four. The groups will be assigned a scene from one of two plays the class has already read. They will come up with two different interpretations for one scene and make a 5 minute video analyzing these interpretations.
The students will have access to a video that will show them how to use the video editing software and the grading rubric prior to starting the project. I will also share with them a sample video that I will make. After the videos are finished, we will present them to the class and post them to the class blog.
Points Worth: 100
Challenge of the Project: The challenge of this project is to make the students see past the surface meaning of the words on the page, and to come up with their own interpretation of what the author meant. The students also have to be able to use a wide range of technology tools in order to film and edit their video.
