Essential Question:
-How can we represent chemical reactions through humorous skits?
-How can personifying characteristics of chemical reactions help us remember the reactions better?
Steps:
A-Create 5-8 second rough draft of what your chemical reaction is
-Practice at least three times as a mini group before our Critique Session
B-Critique session
-Each group acts their reaction out followed by a 10 second description.
-Students will begin with Warm Feedback, then offer suggestions
-Remember to be Kind, Helpful, and Specific
C-Go back and revise
-Practice in front of other groups.
D-In Class Dress Rehearsal at the end of class #1
E-Filming
-Remember our discussion in class about what makes a good shot
F-Editing
-This will be done by 3-4 students after school with the teacher.
