Video - Mr. Olejarz Students learn to become more media literate. They learn to plan and produce video projects, decode images and messages within media and decide what makes a powerful and effective message. Students develop interview skills, public speaking skills, research skills and learn to interpret and dramatize literature. |
Aesop's Fables
Aesop, as shown in the Nuremberg Chronicle. He is shown wearing 15th century German clothing, rather than traditional Greek garb.It is believed that Aesop was a slave of African descent who lived from about 620 to 560 BCE in Ancient Greece. Aesop's Fables refers to a collection of fables credited to Aesop and has also become a blanket term for collections of brief fables, usually involving personified animals, animals with human characteristics. The fables have been and continue to be a popular choice for moral education. Stories included in Aesop's Fables, such as The Fox and the Grapes (from which the idiom "sour grapes" comes from), The Tortoise and the Hare and The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf (also known as The Boy Who Cried Wolf), are well-known throughout the world.
First students read Aesop's Fables. Then, working in groups of two to four illustrate the fable by searching the internet for images that illustrate their fable. The images are then imported into their video. The students do a voice-over of the story. The students then write a script for their version of the fable, tape and edit their dramatization. In the earliest version of this project students simply dramatized the fable.
