Storyboard

Here's our storyboard for the 12 days of Christmas..












Here's our lesson Plan:-Discuss what traditions are, how the differ around the world and what traditions still exist today-Introduce traditional songs (specifically Christmas)-Have students draw and color the various days of Christmas (1-12)-Have students scan in their pictures and order them according to the song using Windows MovieMaker-Record students singing the song and add it to the movie (this will help students learn about the poem nature of song lyrics)

Technology aspects:- this project allows students to explore movie making, scanning and collaborative with digital storytelling.- Technology benefits this project because it allows for a smooth transition between pages and can be set to the timing of the song.

Pedagogy aspects:-This is an example of illustrating an existing song (traditional song; add-on song)-This exemplifies nurturing pedagogy because it allows children to be creative, contribute to the project and add variety to assignments.

Content aspects:This movie fulfills the following core standard objective:- Standard 1Oral Language-Students develop language for the purpose of effectively communicating through listening, speaking, viewing, and presenting.- Objective 2Develop language through viewing media and presenting.a. Identify specific purpose(s) for viewing media (i.e., to identify main idea and details, to gain information, distinguish between fiction/nonfiction).b. Use a variety of formats (e.g., show and tell, drama, sharing of books and personal writings, choral readings, informational reports, retelling experiences and stories in sequence) in presenting with various forms of media.This is a fun way to teach media to children in the context of a fun, familiar song.
