The idea for this lesson came from brainstorming ideas for a Film Club for teens @ my library. However, I have Dr. Lamb to thank for giving me ideas on how to turn it into a lesson plan. Below are the websites that I utilize for this lesson: Character Analysis Worksheet - worksheet found on Read-Write-Think that helps students think more about the characters and their actions. Ning.com - Site that allows you to create a community that has many available features such as blog, forums, pictures, and videos. Rubistar - Site used to help create rubric for final grading. They had great templates that are easy to use and change to fix to your needs. Storyboards - Great site showing how to use and create storyboards. YouTube - Site that allows you to upload videos. Without it I would have never found all the sample video projects. It also offered a good resource for students to use to post and share their projects with the world. Below are the resources I used: Callison, Daniel and Leslie Preddy. The Blue Book on Information Age Inquiry, Instruction, and Literacy. Westport, Conn.: Libraries Unlimited, 2006.
