Rich+Multimodal+Task


 * Rich Multimodal Task **

Students will be asked in lesson ten to create a commercial approximately 1 minute in length using the knowledge and resources they have gained in this unit of work. This task can be completed over two lessons to give students more time to develop their multimodal resource.

Students will use their skills learnt in role-play from lesson three, correct use of grammar learnt in lesson five, understanding of visual literacy from lesson eight and how images can be used effectively to target audience from lesson nine in order to make a commercial that will be assessed through the criteria below. The criteria will be explicitly given to students on a rubric sheet so they know what is expected of them and can refer to it when they need further directions.

__//The commercial will need to be: //__ v Aimed at young children v Convince peers to reduce, reuse and recycle v Incorporate and utilise audio, images and videos v Be very persuasive v Creative and inspiring

__//Their commercials must use these items made in this unit of work: //__
 * Poster on recycling
 * Art images of recycled materials
 * Design and Make sustainable houses

Students will be organised into groups of four and will be given an opportunity to choose or be assigned roles within the group in order to collaboratively come up with an advertisement that will persuade their peers to live more sustainable lives. The roles of the students can be interchangeable and will include:
 * Director
 * Scriptwriter
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Video host
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Video editor

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students should be encouraged to take on more roles and responsibilities in the team to stay actively engaged and on task in order to meet the demands of this multimodal task.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The program they will be using to create their commercial is //Jaycut//, an online video editing software that is free and will allow students to easily add sounds and music on top of their images and videos to create their commercial. A lesson is required to demonstrate the tools available in the program so students can fully utilise the software. In order to make videos, a hand-held camera should be provided to each group with limited time to film their work so that they can upload it to the program.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This multimodal task provides rich learning for students as it allows the students to summarise all the content knowledge they have developed in this unit of work and will be able to apply this knowledge to a real life scenario activity. Such a task not only engages students but provides deep and meaningful learning for students and is ultimately, a formatively assessable outcome that follows a logical pedagogy from the unit of work sequenced lessons.
