Home | Up

Teacher's Notes: This lesson was created to support a Year 7 film unit which focused on films using animation and special effects. Students learn about the cultural and technological history of special effects and play with technology to create their own text.

 The Task
Create a Slide presentation on one aspect of the history of special effects in films.

Look at the following sites and select one aspect of special effects to be the subject of your slide show.

Compose a slide show with between 3 and 5 slides. Each slide must have a visual image and no more than ten words of written text. If you need help composing a slide show look at Internet4classrooms or Powerpoint in the Classroom

Make sure you save your slide show to the lesson drive (at school: L) so that others can see it. Show your Slide Show to another student or pair. Look at their slide show. Use a scale of 1 to 5 to score their presentation on :

  1. Thoughtful presentation
  2. Great images
  3. Useful text
  4. Effective layout
  5. Originality
