The master of horror, the father of detective fiction, the main contributor to the obscure and the macabre... Halloween wouldn't have been completed without Poe. Last year, I got my Advanced students to read The Raven collaboratively. Because of technological glitches, I haven't been able to upload the recording anywhere... so this time I approached the task differently.
It was my 1º ESO students this time. First, we had a look at the following presentation, which I created specifically for this project:
The students were given a calendar to help them plan their work:
Then, we split the class into two groups, and having a close look at the (adapted) text of the two stories, the students began to unleash the performers within and finally... we made two recordings, added pictures and... voilà!
The project was complete.
In a task like this, students learn about literature, read a creative story, practice pronunciation and intonation, and develop their digital competence by putting together an audiovisual product. They also work as part of a team and develop collaborative working skills.
The assessment was done by using this rubric:
As expected, this project involved quite a lot of hard work, but the students really enjoyed it.
Thanks for popping in! See you next time!
