Students will understand that the background, culture, and biases of the speaker create their unique voice. Students will know how to create voice, enhance it through performance skills, the intended audience and the affect of the speaker's background on a piece. Students will be able to create an imovie that reflects their individual voices while reflecting on their past experiences and keeping their biases in mind. Product: imovie

 * __ Objectives __**

//Common Core State Standards // //Content Area: English Language Arts // //Grade Level: Grade 11-12 // //Domain: Speaking and Listening // //Standard: Comprehension and Collaboration //
 * __ Maine Learning Results (MLR) or Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Alignment __**

This lesson will be beneficial in teaching voice because it will allow students to creatively look at their backgrounds, beliefs, and biases. They will be able to explore these ideas by creating an imovie that reflects their lives.
 * Rationale: **

I will be using two formative assessments. I will use the I am Poem to help students reflect on their lives and who they are and then a mirror graphic organizer to rethink their ideas after talking with a partner. Students will be creating a storyboard for their imovie so that I can make sure that they are on the right track for their autobiographical imovie. **Autobiographical iMovie: (200)**Students will be asked to create an autobiographical iMovie that uses visuals, audio, music, and text that reflect their backgrounds, beliefs, and who they are as an individual. The movie needs to be between 2-5 minutes.
 * __ Assessments __**

 * Section II – timely feedback for products (self, peer, teacher) **
 * __ Summative (Assessment of Learning): __**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">I will be using a type II technology in the form of an imovie. This will help students to better understand this idea of background's impact on who they are and their unique voice. Actually taking things from their lives and creating an imovie around it allows for a hands on experience with their past. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">The autobiographical iMovie will need to include text that reflects the background of the student. The student will also be writing an I am Poem and a mirror reflection.
 * __ Integration __**
 * Technology: **
 * Writing: **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Students will be using and I am Poem graphic organizer with which they will reflect on their backgrounds. They will also use a mirror graphic organizer to reexamine themselves part way through the process. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Students will share stories of their backgrounds with a partner. This partner will be determined by the button game. I will put two of each type of button into a hat and have students pick a button. Students will then find their partner by finding the student with the button that matches theirs.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Visual:** Visual learners will benefit from being able to both watch the hook video where RaNique's life is portrayed not only through her words but also through images. They will also be able to express themselves through the images that they chose for their movie. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Verbal:** Verbal students will benefit from the narrative piece of this assignment as they will have to write a powerful narrative that captures who they are to incorporate into the video. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Musical:** The musical students will like the opportunity to add audio and music to their imovies to express themselves through other means than just through voice. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Intrapersonal:** This lesson meets the intrapersonal student in many ways as it allows them to reflect on who they are through the mirror graphic organizer, the //I am Poem,// and through the movie itself because each require the student to really consider who they are as a person. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Interpersonal:** Interpersonal students will enjoy the discussion of different performance skills as well as the peer sharing and brainstorming of the storyboards. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Logical:** Logical students will learn well through the storyboard that allows them to take the abstract ideas that they have in regard to who they are and what they want in their movie and organize these in a concrete place before diving into the actual video.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Students will understand that their backgrounds affect their voice. This is important because everyone comes from different backgrounds and we may not fully understand the point of view of others or understand them unless we know where they are coming from. Do you ever feel misunderstood? Students will understand //Comprehension and Collaboration.//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">At the beginning of the lesson students will watch a video memoir //Unable// [] We will then talk about RaNique's story and how it shows her unique voice and how this form of memoir is a fun way to explore voice.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">//Where, Why, What, Hook, Tailors: Verbal, Visual, Musical/Rhythmic, and Interpersonal// **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">Students will know the importance of reflecting on their own backgrounds and how these can impact their voices. Students will be given an I am Poem graphic organizer which they will use to reflect on their lives before sharing these with the class. We will then have a lecture where I explain to them the importance of background and teach them about memoirs. See content notes for more details. I will then assign their summative assessment so that we can begin brainstorming as a class. Students will then be able to revise their idea of the importance of their voice by using a mirror graphic organizer to help the students reexamine themselves and share a story from their childhood with a partner. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">//**Equip, Explore, Rethink, Revise, Tailors: Verbal, Logical, Visual, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal**//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">Students will explore this idea of voice through our class discussion as well as by listening to and watching several other memoirs. See content notes. This will allow students to build off of what they already know about the affects of background on voice and help them to consider how their own backgrounds affect their voice. By the end of the lesson students will be able to create their own storyboard and ultimately their own autobiographical iMovie. The iMovie will help the students to show evidence of their learning because they will need to reflect on their own lives and experiences to create this iMovie that also uses text, music, and images that reflect who they are. They will be able to rethink and refine their ideas of the importance of background through the mirror and I am Poem graphic organizers. I will also require that they create a storyboard for their iMovie. I will look at these and give them back in time to let them revise it before their movie. //**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">Explore, Experience, Revise, Refine, Tailors: Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Verbal, Visual, Logical **//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">Students will receive two formative assessments during this lesson to make sure that they are on the right track for their summative assessment that will consist of their autobiographical iMovie.The first will be the I am Poem which will allow students to think about their lives and organize these ideas into a creative format. The second will be the mirror graphic organizer that will allow students to examine themselves even more deeply and consider how their background affects who they are and ultimately their voices. This allows me to see if students are making connections between their past and who they are now. They will then organize these ideas and background information into an autobiographical iMove that reflects who they are and their unique voices. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">**//Evaluate, Tailors: Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Verbal, Visual//** Students will know….. // Develop detailed content notes so a substitute or a colleague can teach your lesson.

 * __ Content Notes __**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">We have talked before about the importance of an author/speaker/person's background and beliefs on their voice. We are now going to explore the idea of memoirs both written and digital and how considering your own background and beliefs affects your voice.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Memoirs: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Memoirs are stories about your own lives. They have to at least be based on reality although details are not always 100% true. People do not necessarily tell their whole lives, but rather choose the things that shaped who they have become or the memories that mean the most to them.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Students can check out this link for more information: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">http://www.shortmemoir.com/

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">I will also be sharing this link with them which gives ideas on how to create a video memoir. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">http://www.extraordinarylives.com/video-memoir-process.html

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Video memoirs include pictures, text, and audio and usually contain music. They are short and to the point and can either be a quick reflection on a persons life in general, but usually focus on one important event.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Students will be given an I am Poem graphic organizer to help them reflect on their background as well as a mirror graphic organizer to help them reflect on who they have become. The students are also required to create a storyboard which will help them organize the movie before creating it. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Students will be given the I am Poem as well as the Mirror graphic organizer which will help them to think deeply about their backgrounds. The autobiographical iMovie also allows them to think more deeply about who they are. This whole lesson challenges students to think more deeply. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Students will be able to share stories of their past with a partner as well as be able to share who they are with others in a safe environment. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Students will be able to approach their background and their voice from a new angle. They will be asked to look at it in terms of a poem, a reflection, and a video. They will also be able to work with partners and alone. They will be exposed to video and written memoirs and explore voice in a variety of ways.

Student will know <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">how to <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">create voice, enhance it through performance skills, the intended audience and the affect of the speaker's background on a piece. Please see content notes for more information. Students will be expanding on this idea of voice by looking at their own backgrounds and consider how this affects their voices. I will be using the learning facet of self-knowledge. Students will be learning how to use their own unique voice. Students will be able to convey their understandings through their autobiographical iMovie. They will be able to comphrend these ideas as well as collaborate with others to expand on their understandings. This look at their own backgrounds will help students in their exploration of voice.
 * // Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory. //**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">**Visual:** Visual learners will benefit from being able to both watch the hook video where RaNique's life is portrayed not only through her words but also through images. They will also be able to express themselves through the images that they chose for their movie. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">**Verbal:** Verbal students will benefit from the narrative piece of this assignment as they will have to write a powerful narrative that captures who they are to incorporate into the video. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">**Musical:** The musical students will like the opportunity to add audio and music to their imovies to express themselves through other means than just through voice. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">**Intrapersonal:** This lesson meets the intrapersonal student in many ways as it allows them to reflect on who they are through the mirror graphic organizer, the //I am Poem,// and through the movie itself because each require the student to really consider who they are as a person. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">**Interpersonal:** Interpersonal students will enjoy the discussion of different performance skills as well as the peer sharing and brainstorming of the storyboards. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">**Logical:** Logical students will learn well through the storyboard that allows them to take the abstract ideas that they have in regard to who they are and what they want in their movie and organize these in a concrete place before diving into the actual video.
 * // Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs. //**
 * // MI Strategies: //**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">I will be using a type II technology in the form of an imovie. This will help students to better understand this idea of background's impact on who they are and their unique voice. Actually taking things from their lives and creating an imovie around it allows for a hands on experience with their past. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">This lesson will incorporate six of the multiple intelligences as well as a type II technology. This will allow students to be able to explore their own backgrounds and the impact this has on their voices in a manner of different ways.
 * // Type II Technology: //**
 * // Rationale: //**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">I will be using two formative assessments. I will use the I am Poem to help students to reflect on their lives and who they are in a creative yet structured way. I will also have them use a mirror graphic organizer to rethink their ideas and come up with a story to share with their partner. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Autobiographical iMovie: (200)** Students will be asked to create an autobiographical iMovie that uses visuals, audio, music, and text that reflect their backgrounds, beliefs, and who they are as an individual. The movie needs to be between 2-5 minutes. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">This lesson incorporates two formative assessments and a summative assessment. As a teacher I will be able to see if students are understanding the importance of your personal background when creating your voice. The I am Poem will challenge students to take a look at their lives in a creative manner. The I am Poem also offers students a form and some guidance. The mirror assessment pushes them a bit farther as they must reflect on their own lives without any help and come up with a story to share with their partner. These formative assessments will help me to ensure that students are thinking about their background before moving on to their summative assessment. The summative assessment will be and autobiographical iMovie that displays the student's background or an important part of who he or she is. These formative and summative assessment will help students to consider their own backgrounds and their impact on their personal voice. || ||   || About · Blog · [|Pricing] · Privacy · Terms · [|**Support**] · [|**Upgrade**] Contributions to http://edu221spring11class.wikispaces.com are licensed under a [|Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 License].
