Instructions:

Do you sometimes talk about movies in class?
I asked my students to find posters of movies they like on google image. I used educreations to record their talking about the movies. Then I asked them to share their suggestions and agree on the best one to watch right after class.

 Here is an activity to have students reflect upon their learning process

Flickr

A.    Many people believe that an image is worth a thousand words.  Go to flickr.com and choose 5 pictures that talk to you. Prepare a short presentation about them so that your classmates can get a picture of who you are.

     

B. Are you familiar with the rule of thirds? Read the definition below and decide which picture below applies the concept well.

Rule of Thirds

a composition rule that divides the screen into thirds horizontally and vertically, like a tic-tac toe grid placed over the picture on a television set. Almost all of the important information included in every shot is located at one of the four intersections of the horizontal and vertical lines

c. Now it’s time to take some photos. Grab your cell phone and go on a photo taking tour. Write a short text about your photo relating it to your own learning process, and make it available for the other students in class.
