Microcuentos in SSL and Premiere Pro

Some of the SSL students wrote a microcuento (100 word story) and then recorded the story. Later they added graphics to illustrate the plot. This lesson took six class periods to complete.

Microcuentos and Premiere Pro

All the 8th Grade National Spanish students wrote a microcuento that followed the rules of the literary contest, Santiago en Cien. Once finished with the writing, the students then recorded their stories at home and brought them to school. In the computer lab, the students imported their recordings to Premiere Pro projects and added text, graphics, transitions and effects to create a movie version of their microcuento. This project took five class periods to complete.

Literary Terms and Premiere Pro

The 7th Grade National Spanish students had to identify various literary terms in the context of poems that they were reading in class. Once they had identified the terms, they made a movie where they used different styles to highlight the terms in the poem. Later, the students made the text scroll from bottom to top, added graphics and music. Then they exported the movie and dropped the finished product into their teacher's drop box. This project took three class periods to complete.

Acentuación and Premiere Pro

The 6th Grade National Spanish students created a short movie that explained accent rules for different groups of words. They animated pictures and text, and later added a sound track. This lesson took five class periods to complete.

Some of the 7th grade Language Arts students used Soundbooth and Premiere Pro to create a short video clip that was modeled after the Lost Generation video. Students recorded the forward and backward versions of their poem in Soundbooth and later imported these recordings into Premiere Pro. This lesson took three class periods to complete.
