This assignment requires students to create a short movie or movie trailer that demonstrates their understanding of character development. The information they uncovered and have come to understand in the previous assignments will be advantageous for this project.

The "thumbs-up" technique will be used throughout the entire assignment to check for understanding and ensure that each student clearly understands the instructions and knows what they are doing. All feedback will be given through the use of a checklist.
 * __ Formative (Assessment for Learning) __**
 * Section I – checking for understanding during instruction **
 * Section II – timely feedback for products (self, peer, teacher) **

You will represent your understanding of the importance of character development with a partner in creating a short movie, or movie trailer that depicts an imagined character. In order to demonstrate that you understand the significance of character development, the movie must represent a basic and applicable plot. This assignment is intentionally left vague and open, so as to encourage creativity and a wide range of results, but I would gladly help and guide any team who asks!

 * Technology: **

This assignment requires students to use their literacy and creativity skills, and to have a good understanding of character development.
 * Content Areas: **

An "Ice-Cream Cone" will be used by students to gather facts, ideas, and opinions about characters. Students will be partnered up with a fellow classmate for this assignment, and roles will be decided amongst each other, to create an iMovie product.

 * Musical/Rhythmic**: Students will incorporate audio in the movie for their lines, and may also incorporate music!
 * Naturalist:** "Ethan Frome" is largely set outside, and so students may do all of their filming in nature!

// I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations. //
 * __ Modifications/Accommodations __**
 * // From IEP’s ( Individual Education Plan), 504’s, ELLIDEP (English Language Learning Instructional Delivery Education Plan) //**

To accommodate for absent students, I will assign partners to fill each other in. If the absent students emails me while they are absent, I will arrange a plan to send them any missed work or notes via email. When the student comes back, we may schedule a time to meet if necessary!

For this assignment, desks will be arranged in the shape of a "U" so as to promote a comfortable and open work and learning environment.

Day 1: Warm-Up: assess students emotional status by having them write a word that describes how they feel on an index card (5 minutes) Hook: "Ethan Frome" 1993 Trailer on youtube and tiny discussion (10 minutes) Partners: assign partners according to knowledge of iMovie (5 minutes) Ice Cream Cone Worksheet: have students get them out and review them (5 minutes) iMovie: students download iMovie if they don't already have it, watch tutorial/example videos (15 minutes) Project: students may work on their project- storyboard, script, choose roles and work at home, etc. (30 minutes) Check For Understanding: see where everyone is, see if they understand assignment (5 minutes) Assign: assign students to work on their project at home (5 minutes)

Day 2: Warm-Up: check in with students, answer questions, concerns, etc. (10 minutes) Project: partners work together on assignment (60 minutes) Check for Understanding: questions, concerns, etc. (5 minutes) Assign: students to work on projects at home, remind them that they will only have one more hour in class (5 minutes)

Day 3: Warm-Up: see what progress has been made (10 minutes) Project: partners work together to finish up the final touches of the project (60 minutes) Cool-Down: see where everyone is at (5 minutes) Turn-In: students turn in digital copy of iMovie (5 minutes)

For this assignment, the classroom desks will be arranged in the shape of a "U" in order to create a very free-flowing and open working and learning environment. My desk will be positioned in a corner at the front of the room so as to be easily accessible, but also out of the way. In order to complete the filming portion of this project, students may request to go elsewhere on the school grounds and I will accompany them. The first class day will act as an introduction to the project and the iMovie program, for those who are not yet familiar with it. The hook, a viewing of the 1993 "Ethan Frome" movie trailer, will be presented and a short discussion will follow. Partners will be assigned according to knowledge of iMovie, and students will then work on their project. The second day will be spent largely working on the project. After a brief introduction students will get with their partner and work on the assignment. For the final class students will have an hour of time to finish up any remaining bits of the project and then pass in a digital copy of it at the end of class. At the end of this project, students will understand the significant role that character development plays in stories. This is an important aspect in fully appreciating a story, and so is necessary to learn! The CCSS requirement of this project is to: analyze the impact of the author's choices regarding how to develop and relate elements of a story or drama (i.e. how the characters are introduced and developed). By the end of this assignment, students will know how to analyze characters and considers what the significance of their role is in the story**. (SEE CONTENT NOTES)** I will be present throughout the entire project. Though there is room for a lot of freedom, students will always have the option of running ideas by me, asking questions or telling me of their concerns, etc. I will check for understanding often during this project by using the "thumbs-up" technique. The content being covered in this project is based off of the novel "Ethan Frome" by Edith Wharton. Students will learn of the significant role that character development plays in stories. The[| Ethan Frome Sparknotes] may be referred to and is a great resource to refresh on the content. An "Ice-Cream Cone" worksheet will have been used by students to gather facts, ideas, and opinions about characters during their readings, and now may act as an aid in the project. By the end of this project, students will be able to explain how character development factors into story creation. Throughout the process of this project I will check for understanding, as well as make myself available for questions or comments/concerns. Students will be grouped based off of individual knowledge and experience with iMovie. Partners will assume roles and divvy the work up as they wish. To ensure that each student is doing their part, I will check in with each partner individually. A checklist will be used for self-assessment, peer-assessment, and teacher feedback. Students will be encouraged to refer to the checklist often throughout the process of the project. As with other assignments, students will have the ability to improve their project after teacher feedback, but will be asked to make a plan with me personally via email or otherwise. Students will self-assess themselves using a checklist that I will create, as well as be peer-assessed. I, too, will use a checklist to provide timely feedback for students. The understanding of character development that students will acquire from this assignment will be useful in all future reading and writing that they may do. The content being covered is relative to all other assignments in this unit.
