Reflection

I really enjoyed this lesson with the students as we were able to explore some of the Manaiakalani Film Festival movies as well as discuss some of the key components of a quality blog comment. The students were really engaged with this lesson and were excited to start watching the movies and creating comments to go with them. This is always an exciting time of year as the students are able to watch movies of themselves and see the comments from other students coming in as well as getting to share comments and watch others movies. I think that the students worked really well together to select movies to comment on. They were also thinking about the movies in detail and having discussions about what were their favourite parts. Overall I think this lesson went really well, the students loved it and we got some great comments from the students. 

Things to note

I would have loved to add the whole lesson for this as there is so many elements to setting this up in the classroom but that would have been way too long so I have just added parts of each section and have provided all of the resources I used in my extended plan. This was filmed on the day after the Manaiakalani Film Festival and the students were very excited so there is a lot of background noise especially when the students are working in groups.
