This class allows students to create their own movies completely from scratch! They will participate in all of the essential parts of movie creation, including researching the setting, writing the script as a group, creating the movie set, and finally acting it out, all within the digital world of Minecraft. The teacher will then put all of their footage together to offer them a finalized edited movie that they can view and share with friends whenever they want! For this class, only Minecraft Java Edition (not the Bedrock edition) for PC or Mac is supported. It is not compatible with iPads, tablets, phones, Chromebook, or game consoles. Students must purchase the Java Edition of Minecraft for their personal computers; tablets, Chromebook or consoles will not suffice. In addition to providing a fun experience and a product that the students can keep forever, this class will teach students how to: - Research genres to better understand their movie’s setting, including historical places such as ancient Egypt and Rome, scientific topics like outer space, and even fantasy tropes and worlds like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. - Collaborate with other students to plot a story from beginning to end. - Write a script as a group and edit it when necessary in Google Docs. - Design buildings and other locations needed for movie sets and learn to build them in Minecraft - Act out scenes from their movie - Develop negotiating skills when conflict arises in a group setting and engage in teamwork - Give instructions to others and accept feedback from teachers and peers alike - Use technology to accomplish goals Shortly after the end of the class, students will receive their movie and access their Minecraft map. They can be proud of all the hard work they put into making it. The teacher will wait up to 15 minutes for students to arrive. If students do not show up within that time and haven’t provided advance notice, the session will not be rescheduled.
