Presenting the Repurposed Film
When using a repurposed film in an active
setting, it is important to remember that the film is only one
aspect of the presentation (see repurposing lesson samples in
appendix). Before watching a film, students could work on
material such as vocabulary that is associated or introduced in
the film. This vocabulary activity would assist the students in
focusing their attention on some of the concepts that they will
learn. Then while watching the film, the students could answer
concept relevant questions or, at relevant times, the film could
be stopped and a discussion concerning the science content or
context could occur. This action would review the concepts while
eliciting student performance in a stimulating situation.
Sometime while the film has been stopped or after the film has
been shown, there should be some form of hands on activity. The
hands-on activity creates a physical link with the concepts from
the repurposed film and enhances the retention and transfer of
the science concepts.
