Year 8A – Wednesday 27 May 2020
Year 8B – Thursday 28 May 2020
Important: First read ALL the instructions for today, before you start doing any of them!!
-INTRODUCTION-
Over the next few lessons we will be finalizing assessment for the topics that you have done in the Year 8 History course. You will not do a final assessment task for the Renaissance, but you will do one for the rest of the topics. So, that leaves the following topics for assessment:
1. Exploration.
2. The Reformation.
3. The Slave Trade.
The first assessment task that you are going to do will be on the Reformation: You are going to “act out” the play that you were given when we started with the Reformation topic, by making a video of the play.
You may choose how you want to do this. You could use your phone to make video recordings. Or, you could make use of images in PowerPoint, with a voice over, if you are good with ICT. You can use toys, dolls, drawings, lego, puppets, parents, siblings, etc. Or, just do the play by yourself… Whatever you do, the end product should be a video of the play that you were given about the Reformation.
A FEW MORE THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Some of you… were given two plays. If this is the case, you may choose which one you want to use.
If you are… in the play about Henry VIII’s six wives, you are allowed to only do your monologue, but you need to make it into an interesting video!
You will probably have to… work on this task over the weekend as well. However, you will also get your next History lesson to finalize the task – that means the lesson of Monday 1 June for Year 8A and the lesson of Wednesday 3 June for Year 8B.
Year 8A: All videos must be submitted by the end of your lesson on Monday, 1 June.
Year 8B: All videos must be submitted by the end of your lesson on Wednesday, 3 June.
This is… an individual task – that means that you alone are responsible for the creation of the video of the play that you were given – you are not going to do the plays in groups or make the videos in groups.
However, if there are some of you who really want to make the video with the rest of the students in your play’s group, you may ask me for permission. (If you want to do this you need to explain clearly how you will make the video together, before I will consider giving you permission. Think carefully before you make such a decision, as you will be given marks for your project and it would be a pity if others in the group let you down. Personally, I think it will be the least complicated to just make the video by yourself.)
So, here is what you have to do now in this lesson:
1.
Get out your script.
2.
Read over your script.
3.
Think of ideas for the task and start planning what you will do.
4.
Complete the “Plays Planning AND Film Review.” task in Schoology… This is simply a feedback form that I need you to complete, however, you will be given marks for the feedback that you give me. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FINISH THIS TASK BY THE END OF THIS LESSON!!
5.
Finally, if there is still time in this lesson, start working on your video.
Be creative and have fun!
6.
Send me a private message on Schoology (use the SAME mail-thread!!!) to confirm that you have completed the tasks as instructed today.
