We see that many of our students don't find classroom challenging or fun in
any way. Some teachers go beyond so that their students can have the best
learning experience and that is done in one simple way by adding what they are
surrounded with. Many students live around technology and learn really well with
it and if it works for them to learning then as educator we should find ways to
make class fun for them. One way in Literature class is by taking a novel and
transforming it into real life, an example a video. We can take a novel and the
concepts of filming and teach students how to mix them both and have fun with
them. If students are making a film about a book it kind of forces students to
read to be able to know what scenes they want to film. First we start off with
preparation, filming, editing, and the premiere and the overall experience it
help students have fun while learning.
I really enjoy this type of learning because in high school I was able to do
the same in one of my AP Spanish Literature class. We were not really taught
the preparation of filming, but we were able to create a story line of what we
had read and turn it into a more update version of it. It was a great
experience of learning and I was able to share it with my fellow classmates as
well. We had the Grammy Awards after all of our films were finished. I didn't
know at that moment that I was learning to me it was having fun, but know I see
that it is a great way to get every student involved even if they were shy.
When we are filming there was a place for every students to have and share the
work which was really worthwhile to teach. I will incorporate this style of
learning into my future classroom because I was able to see what I took from it
and I would like my students as well to have the same experience.
