    Learning Intentions: (We are learning to...)

    We are exploring...  Our Environment….. by defining our dynamic relationship with it.

    We are exploring….Film Study (Visual Text).....by observing and analysing the elements of Film Making (Visual Language) 

    We are exploring…. Elements of  Film Study.....by applying the elements of Film Making for making a short film on ‘Environmental Sustainability (Film Making) 

    We are exploring....... Elements of Verbal Language by understanding and applying  content, language, and text forms in our speech

    FOCUS:  We are FOCUSED..... On ‘Film Making’ by applying different aspects of Film Making to our short film on ‘Environmental Sustainability’  such as Story/Plot,Themes, Characterisation Dialogues, Camera Angles, Camera Shots Camera- Movements, Editing , Music, Sound, Setting and Makeup etc. 

    We are FOCUSED.....on effective public speaking by understanding, discussing  and applying the features of verbal language, body language and making an oral presentation.

    We are FOCUSED..... on expressing our ideas, opinions and thoughts on our chosen topic by planning and constructing our speech.

    Success Criteria: I can….

    -apply the Film-Making Techniques in my own film such as Story/Plot, Themes, Characterisation, Dialogues, Camera Angles, Camera Shots Camera- Movements, Editing , Music, Sound etc.

     -think critically about texts (Film) with understanding & confidence and recognise, understand and consider how texts are constructed for a range of purposes, audiences, and situations (Environmental Sustainability)

    -construct texts (speech) that demonstrate an understanding of purpose (public speaking)  and audience through deliberate choice of content, language, and text form and can seek  feedback to make changes to texts to improve clarity, meaning, and effect

    -use a wide range of oral & written language features and an increasing range of vocabulary to communicate precise meaning & effect, to sustain interest and to achieve a sense of coherence when constructing texts

    -convey and sustain a personal voice where appropriate by being reflective about the production of my own texts: monitor and self-evaluate progress, articulate learning with confidence.

     Resources:

    Use these notes when you practice your speech: 

    Just as words form the spoken language to communicate a message, the way we stand, where we look, how we move our hands and the tone of our voice form the body language.

    Eye Contact

    • Look at the audience for 3 seconds before you begin

    • look at several people throughout the audience (If you find this really difficult, look at the top of the heads of the people in the back row, then at least your voice will carry to everyone in the audience)

    Presentation Voice

    • Take a deep breath

    • begin speaking in a voice louder than your usual conversation voice

    Set Your Hands

    • Hold your cue cards loosely in one hand

    • Hold your hands together

    • Keep them about waist high in front of you

    • Set your feet

    • Place your feet & shoulder wide apart

    • Balance your weight evenly on both feet.
