Today we presented our Film Clip Lessons! I was pretty excited because I found such a creepy clip to accompany my lesson! I guess I am still amazed by the variety of things you can find on the net - Really, it amazes me! I used a short segment from a longer clip I found on YouTube which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhqQEnASvJ0 (4:42-5:30). It was a clip from the movie The Innocents which is based on The Turn of the Screw. The clip is just one part of the lesson which is based on investigating elements that contribute to the mood in a work (i.e. writing, film, music, etc.). I really thought the clip did a great job of portraying this one particular scene; plus, it gives the students something new to do in class besides staring at the whiteboard!
I was also really impressed by a number of the lessons my peers came up with. I really liked the PS I Love You clip which was paired with the novel 13 Little Blue Envelopes. It made me want to see the movie and read the book! The Mark Twain claymation clip was extremely disturbing, to say the least, but I think students would definitely be interested in what Twain wrote after watching it! That's a plus, right? :-D
