Hook:

Class warm up: Perfect Circle. Silently students will form a perfect circle. When they have all done so they break and touch the wall and come back to form a perfect square. Then triangle, rectangle, etc.
Step 1 – Students will present their music videos. As a class we will discuss them and analyze their quality. Hand out a rubric to each student and have them grade themselves on the final product. Tell them that I will be doing the final grading, but I will consider what they put on their rubrics. Please be honest with yourself. If you circle all superiors, I will believe you’re not taking this opportunity seriously.
Step 2- Students will then complete group evaluation forms.
Step 3- Students will have 15 minutes to reflect on their experience collaborating to create a production.
We’ll discuss as a class what they felt were individual and collective successes and challenges they encountered, and what they take away from the production experience.
