Procedures Followed
Romeo and Juliet Movie Presentations
Standards and
Objectives Met
(23) Research/Organizing and Presenting Ideas. Students organize
and present their ideas and information according to the purpose of
the research and their audience. Students are expected to
synthesize the research into a written or an oral presentation that:
(B) provides an analysis for the audience that reflects a
logical progression of ideas and a clearly stated point of
view;
(D) uses a variety of evaluative tools (e.g., self-made
rubrics, \ peer reviews, teacher and expert evaluations) to
examine the quality of the research; and
(24) Listening and Speaking/Listening. Students will use
comprehension skills to listen attentively to others in formal and
informal settings. Students will continue to apply earlier standards
with greater complexity. Students are expected to:
(A) listen responsively to a speaker by taking notes that
(B) summarize, synthesize, or highlight the speaker's ideas
for critical reflection and by asking questions related to
the content for clarification and elaboration;
(C) Evaluate the effectiveness of a speaker's main and
supporting ideas.
(26) Listening and Speaking/Teamwork. Students work
productively with others in teams. Students will continue to apply
earlier standards with greater complexity. Students are expected to
participate productively in teams, building on the ideas of others,
contributing relevant information, developing a plan for
consensus-building and setting ground rules for decision-making.
The student will be able to:
1. Introduce, explain, and defend the changes or
alterations that they have made in their productions of
their assigned acts
2. Examine and evaluate fellow classmates presentations
3. Determine which presentation was their favorite
4. Justify what made their favorite selection more
appealing from the other presentations
Rationale
(*Note: This assignment was given to students before the
Christmas break) This assignment will help students in their
presentation of a 3 month long group production. While presenting
the students will be able to evaluate their own experiences during
the production process, as well as explain and defend their creative
choices to their fellow classmates. This assignment will help
students improve their oral impromptu presentation skills, as well
as their group and teamwork skills. As classmates are presenting
the remainder of the class will be able to view and evaluate each
other’s final production products while providing support for their
final evaluations of each performance.
Warm-Up
15 min
As the students enter the room they will pick up the Romeo and
Juliet Movie Project Evaluation Form from the back table. At their
seats they will find a notecard for their morning journal. On the
board I will write the following prompt in which they will need to
respond to on their notecard:
1. How do you feel about your project now that it is finished?
2. Do you think you made a wise choice in your fellow group
members? (*Note: Many selected friends from class and
ended up complaining about their decision before the
project was complete)
3. What did you like about the project? What were the
difficulties of the project?
Once they have completed their journals I will ask the students to
briefly discuss their responses to the journal prompt questions.
This will be a short discussion because we must complete five acts
by the end of class tomorrow. I will then have students pass up
their notecards. Once I have collected notecards I will instruct the
students to label their dvds. They must label the dvds with the
appropriate act number, period or class number, and the group
members names. I will then collect all presentation dvds,
regardless of whether they are presenting today or not.
Activity
30 min
1. I will review the Romeo and Juliet Movie Project
Evaluation Form, explaining how this tool will help
them in voting and selecting their favorite presentation
once everyone has presented
2. I will review and explain the process of the
presentations, including what each group must do
before they may begin showing their movie
3. I will introduce the first group
4. The first group will go to the front of the class and take
a brief moment to introduce themselves and explain
what significant creative change they took on their
particular act. Once they have finished their
introduction I will turn off the lights and we will view
the presentation. This process will continue for each
group.
5. (On Friday) Once all of the groups have finished
presenting, I will allow them to take a few minutes to
finish their evaluation forms. As they are completing
their forms I will pass out the voting ballot for best
production.
6. (On Friday) After I have given the students enough
time to fill out the ballot form, 5 minutes maximum, I
will collect the ballots and allow students to open up a
classroom discussion over what they liked about each
production and the overall assignment. I will also
persuade students to discuss what they may have done
differently.
7. (On Friday) Once I have finished tallying up the voting
ballots I will announce the winning group, who will
receive a special surprise for their hard work
Closure
5 min
Once the presentations for today (more than likely only Act I and
Act II) are complete we will conclude the day with the
following:
1. I will congratulate the groups that did present and
remind the groups that did not present that they will be
presenting first thing tomorrow.
2. I will discuss and remind students about homework that
will be due once they return from Spring Break
3. I will remind students about important upcoming dates
