I have just started a filmmaking unit with one of my year 9 classes, and it promises to be a lot of fun. One of the things I like about that class is that I can be reasonably confident that they will actually get something done in the time given. They aren't 100% when it comes to completing tasks, but they're more reliable than any of my other classes.
We started with some very simple stuff today - filming the numbers one to ten in sequence. It was actually quite time consuming, as students figured out how to set up tripods, hpw to put tapes in, and the best ways to roll up their uniforms so that they could hold a piece of paper in front of their crotch and appear naked on screen.
There was some inevitable silliness.
Still, I am a lot less exhausted and grumpy than I thought I'd be at the end of a 5 lesson day. Yay for fun period 5 lessons!
