We used iMovie this past week. I created a story about Langston Hughes' famous poem "The Negro Speaks of Rivers." I had so much fun creating my iMovie. First, I chose what topic to use to make an iMovie about. Then, I collected photos that would adequately enhance the poem. Following that, I imported the pictures to the iMovie. Then, I chose the music to go along with it. I chose a selection that was created and performed during the Harlem Renaissance, the period in which Langston Hughes wrote. Then I added the text within the movie.
This program, iMovie, would be great to use in this way for a classroom, or for the students to create their own. In addition, the students could create biographies about authors or other prominent historical figures. They could also create a virtual field trip. I had fun making this, but now sure how accessible it will be in my future classroom.
