Our Third Topic, March Activities - Emirdağ Mithat Paşa Secondary School

 

The topic in March was Movies. We have learned the types of movies how to decribe the characters in movies and talk about movies on online lessons. 

We talked to the partners and decided to choose a movie about global issues or moral values. So, we can raise the awareness of our values. I chose two cartoons about drought because it is one of the main problems all over the world.

In the first week, we watched Zorro the Chronicles Episode 17 Drought and talked about the movie and drought and  the students answered some questions about the movie.

    I prepared a worksheet about Zorro the Chronicles Drought on Liveworksheets and make a four paged workbook about movie vocabulary and send to my students. They answered the questions.

        Then we watched The Horseland Water Reserve online and I prepared a quiz show on Wordwall and the students played it.

        My students wrote short stories about drought on a paper. We read all of them. We combined the stories and wrote dialogues in English.

        On 22nd of March we celebrated the World Water Day as it is related to our topic, drought. Moreover I wanted to raise the awareness . They coloured the pictures about World Water Day.

    We did a vocabulary quiz about movies on Mentimeter on online lessons.

     We formed two scripts for animations. We decided on scenes and the characters, each students got a scene and two characters. Every student prepared their scenes and sent to me. After correcting, I combined them. So we have two animations now. We used the Web 2.0 tool, Plotagon.

    After watching our animations, I asked to suggest names for the animations. They suggested names in Turkish. We did a questionnaire and chose the names for the animations. 

        They prepared posters for our animations. After adding the names and directors of the animations, our animations are also ready.

        Here are the animations of my students about drought:
