Q6 - Given the easy accessibility of movies online, does it make sense to flip lessons & have Ss view them outside of class? #engsschat

SSHistoryEduc Aug 28 @ 7:39 PM EDT

@engsschat, love what you do! #engsschat

Steph_Sukow - Moderator Aug 28 @ 7:39 PM EDT

A5: Short readings, nonfiction articles, and reviews of the movies can get the conversation rolling, too. #engsschat

historycomics Aug 28 @ 7:39 PM EDT

I have them watch the trailer and ask them to make as many connections as possible - savages, bows and arrows, unobtanuim, etc #engsschat

A2: The Truman Show. Great companion to Fahrenheit 451. Montag and Truman are both searching for the truth! #engsschat

A6 for most movies this is what I do but I found the discussions the most powerful reason to show in class so I am torn! #engsschat

Steph_Sukow - Moderator Aug 28 @ 7:40 PM EDT

I've always toyed with having an optional or extra credit viewing night. There isn't always enough time to show quality films. #engsschat

In reply to @classroomtools

historycomics Aug 28 @ 7:40 PM EDT

A6 sticky situation - depends on equal access to tech, etc, but great possibilities #engsschat

Steph_Sukow - Moderator Aug 28 @ 7:40 PM EDT

Q6: As technology and ways to view film become more available, flipping a film/documentary becomes more realistic. #engsschat

MrBettsClass Aug 28 @ 7:41 PM EDT

Q6: Teach US His? I've begun a new year of MrBettsClass song parodies/skits to cover the full curriculum. #engsschat https://t.co/xlxaa5R0LW

Great points that definitely need to be considered, Tim. #engsschat

A6: At times, however, analyzing film is best to do together - especially in a Film or #MediaLiteracy based course. #engsschat

kwillmann Aug 28 @ 7:41 PM EDT

A6. Not so much. Teaching them how to read films requires stopping them and discussing techniques and message. #engsschat

mrsbyarshistory Aug 28 @ 7:41 PM EDT

I did an extra credit one where they had to watch w/ someone else (parent/ friend) and then interview each other about the film. #engsschat

In reply to @Steph_Sukow

classroomtools Aug 28 @ 7:42 PM EDT

But can't one do that in the class part of the flip? #engsschat

In reply to @Steph_Sukow

owensemilyg Aug 28 @ 7:42 PM EDT

Agree. Not all Ss have access. #engsschat

In reply to @historycomics

SSHistoryEduc Aug 28 @ 7:42 PM EDT

Follow @Steph_Sukow! ☝️diverse sources + 👇length = more juxtaposition to show convergences & divergences between perspectives! #engsschat

A5: Short readings, nonfiction articles, and reviews of the movies can get the conversation rolling, too. #engsschat

USHistoryIdeas Aug 28 @ 7:42 PM EDT

Yes, this is the issue I have. All of my Ss have devices (1:1 chromebook) but not all have wifi @ home which can be a challenge. #engsschat

In reply to @historycomics

BaldRoberts Aug 28 @ 7:43 PM EDT

Lord of the Flies and Cast Away! Which would be harder? Alone or with a group? Lots of great discussions about conflicts. #engsschat

In reply to @classroomtools

A6 Yes, realistically, I like the discussion part of showing films. #engsschat

Q7 - Do you prefer to use clips rather than have Ss watch full length films? Why or why not? #engsschat

classroomtools Aug 28 @ 7:46 PM EDT

Thanks for joining, and for sharing your as always spot on thoughts, Tim. #engsschat Have a great night and week.

In reply to @classroomtools

mrsbyarshistory Aug 28 @ 7:46 PM EDT

A7 Right now, I prefer clips but I think it might depend on the film/doc and purpose of showing. #engsschat

USHistoryIdeas Aug 28 @ 7:47 PM EDT

A7 Clips!! Why? So much to do, so little time. Full feature seems like too much time commitment. #engsschat

GeoJo22 Aug 28 @ 7:47 PM EDT

Great point. I always show captions on YouTube though they are not always correct. #engsschat

In reply to @MrBettsClass

Steph_Sukow - Moderator Aug 28 @ 7:48 PM EDT

A7: To save time, clips are always more helpful. Also, clips allow for more conversation and connections between texts to be made #engsschat

Steph_Sukow - Moderator Aug 28 @ 7:48 PM EDT

A7: It depends upon the purpose for showing the film and the learning objectives. Both approaches have a great deal of value. #engsschat

Do students pay more attention to #YouTube captions than to the #teacher? (Asking for a friend...🙄) #engsschat

Great point. I always show captions on YouTube though they are not always correct. #engsschat
In reply to @MrBettsClass

GeoJo22 Aug 28 @ 7:55 PM EDT

A7 Clips. Its easier to highlight the historical point. And movies are meant to entertain and that could be distracting to 7th Ss.#engsschat

a8 Be sure to check out the resource links at the bottom of the GDoc. https://t.co/zeRq8vBlHs #engsschat

In reply to @historycomics

Well, they can rewatch the clip. And I tend to have Ss look for their own answers. Dont ask me! #engsschat

In reply to @SSHistoryEduc

Agreed. My experience says longer you let it play, more disinterest emerges! #engsschat
