In Round Two of Our Presidential Debate, you will create a 1 minute TV commercial that supports a President. No matter who you receive as your President, your commercial will assume that he is running for reelection, and it will highlight the accomplishments of his presidency. During this round all commercials must be positive or “warm and fuzzy” in nature. We will talk about negative ads in the weeks to come. I Movie will be used for this project. Intuitive Feeling: Students will be working in pairs to complete this project. The teacher will assign groups. These students enjoy working in small groups which still allows for individual expression. Intuitive Thinking: Students will spend two class periods researching accomplishments about their assigned President. They will have power over how they want to create their video and should not feel limited in their choices. Sensing Judgers: There are specific requirements that will be spelled out to the students. The teacher will give the students a hard copy and read it out loud (visual, auditory). Sensing Perceivers: This is a hands on activity that these students will enjoy. These students like to have to projects acknowledged. We will be playing the video clips on the TV’s in the classrooms and having the 8th grade classes vote on the President they would vote for. Since I am working with High Achievement classes I don’t usually have to make accommodations for students with special needs. But if I was doing this project with a regular class, I would make sure I set time aside to work with that student individually to make sure they understood exactly how to use I Movie. Remediation time is also available every day for students to stay for extra help or extended time on projects.
