30+Minute+Movie

="30 Minute" Movie=

Definition

 * Students receive 30 minutes to storyboard, create, and export a movie that answers an essential question, defines a term, or explains a process.
 * Students have very specific parameters that limit their grand ideas.
 * Example:
 * Limited to 15 - 20 second
 * 4 - 6 pictures
 * 1 voice-over
 * Title slide

Benefits

 * Since essential questions are important to the overall organization and review of content area specifics, the "30 minute" movie is a quick way for students to illustrate their understanding of the information.
 * This process could be utilized with any program - ComicLife, PowerPoint, or a even a Podcast.

Example
This example was actually created after the original "30 Minute" movie. The student had about 10 minutes left and wanted to create a preview for the movie. The movie uses satire to convey his message.
