corrections In The Lesson Plan

Miss Herman I was  just going over the lesson plan and  I realized that we needed  to make some corrections, please take not,
Objectives
1.  Students will view and listen to a video on folk cultures of  our ancestors and identify various forms of folk cultures still being practiced in St Lucia.
2.  Students will discuss various forms of folk cultures presented in the video.
3.  Students will demonstrate an appreciation for folk culture by engaging in the production of one folk culture.
I must compliment you on the content, however I believe that you we should include another activity in the Introduction.  Students will also listen to a folk song.
Also in the evaluation, students should be given the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of folk culture through a reflection of songs or dance.  What are you opinions.  Also I like the idea that students are able to represent their understanding of the  concept visually through drama, poetry, song, dance, drawing or writing, they are given a choice . Bravo.



Dymthna Herman's Refection

we were given the task of creating a video to aid instruction of student in a specific subject area. My group members and I choose the topic folk culture in St.Lucia  because we observed that students have little knowledge of the folk cultures still being practiced in St.Lucia. The purpose of this video is create an awareness and to encourage the students to show greater appreciation for the folk culture by participating and practicing the various folk culture.
This task was indeed time consuming and frustrating yet fun and informative. In the process of creating the video I learnt a lot  more about St.Lucia's  folk culture and developed a greater appreciation for it .We used a camera to record the clippings. Most of our video clippings were recorded in the community of Choiseul as it is one of the communities where folk culture is still highly practiced.my group members and I meet at Choiseul village where we took our first clip and we moved on to the other various communities to get the other clippings. Transportation was an issue because we had to move form one community to the next. This then became overwhelming but we tried to remain calm and patient in order to complete the process. We could not record all of the clips on that day therefore we had to complete it the following day
The biggest issue was we encountered was with the editing of the video. Since we had little exposer to the video editing software camtasia. We had major cutting out the background noise and adding the quiz to the video even after we viewed the video tutorials on the several times. After countless trials we finally did it right .
I believe that the video could have been a lot better if we had a few more practice sections to explore the video editing soft ware. Also we should have been exposed to more than one video software therefore, we would have the opportunity to choose the software we felt most comfortable with. In spite of  all the challenges my group members and I come up with an interesting video.
