Recently, Mrs. White implemented the new green screen into a class project. The task was for the students to use a digital platform and create a multimedia project using different satirical tools. After collaborating with Mrs. Ingle to generate ideas, she came up with the following:
The students were given a RAFT assignment which guided them in selecting a Role, Audience, Format, and Topic. Students could select their RAFT from a pre-made list or could come up with their own. They were then given a strict schedule, which allowed time for planning, rehearsing, and recording. Part I of the project was to create a satirical response to the problem they chose. All projects had to include at least five different satirical tools (i.e. hyperbole, litotes, sarcasm ridicule, parody, and invective). Part II of the project included a reflection where students reflected on why they chose their topic, why they chose that particular form of satire to address the problem, and how the students' interpretation effectively satirized the aspect they chose. Students used a free green screen app called TouchCast and recorded the skits using an iPad. Below is a copy of the RAFT used and examples of the student products. If you are interested in using the green screen or learning more about it, contact Mrs. Ingle. She would love to help you get started! Don't forget to tell Mrs. Blackwell, Mrs. Cain, and Mrs. Robinette how much we appreciate them and everything they do for MCHS!!
