Every time we give assessments to our students we always try our best to make them authentic. We give them situation very close to reality to make them feel and experience life.
For the 1st quarter, the grade 8 students were tasked to be the newest campus vlogger of MTV Asia and they are to create a 3 minute video promoting Xavier.
The vlog needs to inform and persuade the audience to know more about the campus. The challenge was to come up with the top 3 things worth knowing based on their topic.
They had to undergo the Design Cycle to accomplish this task.
They were ask to download a Design Cycle worksheet and upload it on google docs. The file was converted ready for editing and shared to their computer teacher. I was able to see their development. At first they had a hard time using google docs but later on they were able to cope with it. A script in AV format was also required so they can prepare every detail they needed for the vlog.
After the preparation stage, they were given 1 session to shoot. A partner was assigned to them during the shooting of the video but all other tasks will be done individually.
Here are the pictures while they were filming. It was indeed a wonder to observe students doing their best and applying the lessons they learned.
