We’ve done much collaborative work in our book clubs and production of the Maberry UNDEAD event. And we’ve also made contributions individually through our blogs, bookcasts, VoiceThreads, Diigo tags, and tweets.
The Action Learning Project multimedia reports are contributions that we make based on our own personal interests and goals for the course. Each one will contribute in a unique way to our understanding of how we can learn through literature with young adults.
The rubric describes the ALP multimedia report task: To produce an up-to-6 minute video or audio slide show that shares the story of your implementation and your evaluation of the project. Be sure to include feedback from students and work samples when relevant. It really is a challenging digital storytelling task. The video should be able to stand alone so with a brief intro and reflection on your blog, other teachers can watch the video and understand your project well enough to explore similar projects themselves.
Be sure to check out the exemplars and review the rubric. Note the pre- and post-screening tasks:
- Prepare a brief introduction to your ALP multimedia report and be ready to field questions when you present it to the class.
- Reflect and self-assess in your blog post where you publish your ALP multimedia report.
You can also review last spring’s ALP Celebration.
Please do come to the celebration ready to transact with the presenters to ask good questions. We’re producing this program that will be archived for others to learn from, so the contributions that you make will have an impact.
