3. Using the information you gathered, you will teach the rest of your class about the topic your group researched. Each group will make a 30 second Animoto video on their topic. You will not be able to include all of the information that you learned, so you will have to evaluate what information/images are most important to understand the topic. 1. To create your Animoto, you will need to sign up for a free account. Access Animoto by clicking here.here Animoto includes simple instructions on the website, but if you need more in-depth instructions try this: Animoto Step-by-step Animoto Step-by-step 2. Your group presentation will be evaluated using the Animoto presentation rubric. Animoto presentation rubric 3. Your group will evaluate and record keys facts from the presentations on the topics you did not research using the Evaluating Animoto Presentations form.Evaluating Animoto Presentations 4. After the presentations, complete a reflection on your own presentation using the Animoto Reflection form.Animoto Reflection 1111 2222 3333 6666 5555 4444 Next

6. Common Core State Standards RI.10.1 Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. RI.10.7 Analyze various accounts of a subject told in different mediums (e.g., a person’s life story in both print and multimedia), determining which details are emphasized in each account. W.10.1 Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence. W.10.7 Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation. SL.10.2 Integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally) evaluating the credibility and accuracy of each source. SL.10.5 Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of findings, reasoning, and evidence and to add interest. Standards for the 21 st Century Learner Standards for the 21 st Century Learner 1.1.5 Evaluate information found in selected sources on the basis of accuracy, validity, appropriateness for needs, importance, and social and cultural context. 1.1.6 Read, view, and listen for information presented in any format (e.g. textual, visual, media, digital) in order to make inferences and gather meaning. 2.1.3 Use strategies to draw conclusions from information and apply knowledge to curricular areas, real-world situations, and further investigations. 3.1.1 Conclude an inquiry- based research process by sharing new understandings and reflecting on the learning. 3.1.4 Use technology and other information tools to organize and display knowledge and understanding in ways that others can view, use, and assess. 3.2.3 Demonstrate teamwork by working productively with others. Time Frame: 2 (45 minute) class periods. Differentiation:  Direct students to use comprehension tools included in databases, such as: audio read-aloud, labeled reading levels, and embedded dictionaries.  Teachers may use Brain Pop Apartheid and British Imperialism videos to differentiate texts.Apartheid British Imperialism  Model for students Cornell Notes using one of the links provided on slide 1. AVID Strategies:  Cornell Notes, Philosophical chairs (could be run at the end of the lesson using the prompt: Why was colonialism in Africa beneficial or harmful to the native populations?) Notes to the teacher: Consult your Library Media Specialist for assistance. The teacher should familiarize themselves with the use of the Animoto web 2.0 tool, using the LIS wiki, before implementing this lesson. An account must be established to use the tool.LIS wiki Alternative presentation tools: ReadWriteThink: Cube CreatorCube Creator PreziPrezi or Museum Box could be substituted for Animoto. Be aware that using either of these programs will increase the time necessary for students to present information.Museum Box Last updated: July 2014 Created by ERIC D.
