You can find great easy to follow tutorials about iMovie from the [|Apple website].

iMovie is a film editing software that allows students (or faculty) to make short movies with professional quality editing tools. Some ways to use iMovie could be to tell an original story, adapted a story to movie format, film and edit the steps to a lab report, or explain how a story problem should be solved. Those ideas only scratch the surface of the possibilities from student projects. These forms will help you plan out a lesson using iMovie as a tool for students to communicate content. The movies should be short and include titles and credits. I recommend that the first movie students do be no more than five minutes; groups of 3 or 4 students seem to work best.

Story Board -- the story board is used to plan out the scenes for the movie. Students should turn in the storyboard for approval. If the planning is weak or poorly done, give it back and let them try again.

Task Form -- the task form holds students accountable for their share of the work.

Rubric -- the rubric includes the stylistic elements that should be present in the movie, but allows you to add in the content that should be displayed in the film. Feel free to weight the categories!

Production Pass-- to be used when students are filming outside of the classroom.
