Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Here's an exciting, alternative approach to teaching first-year television production to high school students. A combination of class instruction and independent video action projects prepares students for a year-end video competition. The projects are based on the concept of thematic mapping and borrow knowledge from other academic subject areas to teach media and visual literacy, broadcast history, video production skills, and multimedia animation.
Kenny's exciting, alternative approach to teaching first year television production to high school students uses a combination of direct instruction, class discussion, and independent and inter-disciplinary video action projects to prepare students for a year-end video competition. Engaging projects based on the concept of thematic mapping borrow knowledge and information from other academic subject areas to teach media and visual literacy, broadcast history, video production skills, and multimedia animation. The instructor manual is supplemented by a student workbook which introduces students to instructional information through fill-in-the-blanks questioning. The workbooks also contain checklists and background information to aid students in completing the projects.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 319-322) and index.
