Methods

Introduction:

1. Ask class if they have ever wondered how a film gets to the movie theater

2. Ask class if they have ever thought of a really great idea for a film and wanted to see it on the big screen for the world to enjoy

3. Tell class they will learn exactly how a film becomes a Hollywood blockbuster, from just a thought to the movie theater screens.

Engagement:

1. I will go through a slide show of graphic images and words that will add visuals to the lesson.

2. I will ask many simple questions that students can relate to for them to understand the material easier.

Class Practice:

1. I will tell students to write down Cornell style notes as we go through the lesson.

2. I will point out key details to write down to ensure no one gets left behind.

3. Students will be given a ditto with various questions after the lecture to answer to verify understanding

Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)

1. For students who are more visual learners they will b able to read and see the images from the PowerPoint.

2. For students who are auditory learners they will be able to listen to the explanations I give them.

3. For the more kinesthetic learners I am requiring all students to write down notes as we go so that they can attach action to their learning.

Learning Checkup:

1. After students finish with the ditto we will go over all the answers as a class so the students know which items they need to work on.

2. I will collect the dittos and see which areas were unclear for the students so I can revisit those items.

Wrap Up:

1. I will conclude the lesson by letting each student know that it is possible for any of them to create a block buster hit and know they are empowered to do so.

2. I will let them know that we will be having a quiz on the material so after I hand the ditto back hold on to it and study it.

I will know if students are understanding the material by how they answered the questions on the ditto and how they perform on the test I give them after giving them time to study.
