Hello everyone, I hope that you all had a restful weekend. It seems that there are some questions and/or concerns regarding the Genre Projects that will be presented toward the end of the semester. Let me start off by saying that at times I am deliberately vague concerning what I want you, as students, to produce in regards to the book that your group chooses. I do this so as not to hamper your creative styles, still there are those who would like me to give them specific parameters and details. If that is what you are expecting from this blog you are sorely mistaken; what I will give you however, is a run down of some ideas or suggestions of things that have been done before. Some students have chosen to display what they took away from their reading experience in the form of a "movie trailer". To do this you may use Movie Maker, PhotoStory 3, PowerPoint, or a re-enactment in the form of a play, Readers Theater, or a skit depicting a significant scene from the book.
PhotoStory 3 is a free download that can be found at the Microsoft website and I think that it is very user friendly. A great deal can be done using this program especially with graphics and music.
The goals of each presentation should be to display in each groups own fashion what they "got" out of the reading experience and how they would best depict those sentiments to the class. The time limit is different depending on each of my classes due to class size and the frequency with which each class meets. Use this project to be creative and choose a book that you will all enjoy reading; don't over-think this project. We will have some time in class to work on it! I hope this clears up some of your questions. See you all soon.
