Movies, Music and Projects- How to create Engagement

I am inspired this morning to discuss making changes in my classroom using Movies, Music and Student Projects and Activities. 

I have all kinds of ideas I would like to share, however time is limited and I need to get the questions for tonight's discussion out for all of you to prepare for our #sstlap discussion tonight.


Q1 How do you use Movie Clips in your lessons? (think about what purposes you use them for and examples) #sstlap

Q2 What full movies do you show, and for what topics or content do you use them?  #sstlap

Q3 What do you expect students to do during videos that will engage them and ensure they are gaining the desired content?

Q4 How can/do you incorporate music, and this isn't just you playing music- but the creation of music by Ss? #sstlap

Q5 How can/do you give students choice in creation of their own projects/learning activities?  #sstlap

Q6 How can/do you share student work w/others to make it more authentic experience? #sstlap
