Film and Television.
The pacing of the images used in my video helped to create interest and suspense. I teach in a 90 minute block. Much to long to lecture. Plenty of time for large projects. The key to using and managing in the block is to chunk it up into smaller bite size pieces. Then push the pace to keep the kids interested and wanting the next piece of the puzzle.
On another note. Today is Presidents day. Yesterday one of my students messaged me and asked if I could let him and 3 other students into the school to work on their robot. He said that this week was spirit week and he new they wouldn't get a lot done with all the distractions and they wanted to have the frame rebuilt before our next pool test. He reminded me that we only have 31 days left before we leave for Palau.
How many teachers get calls like this? Not many. Kind of cool. So what compelled these students to want to come in on their day off? I would like to think it is our project. More than likely it is a combination of the the project and a great work ethic.
