Lesson

I have used my iPad in quite a few lesson plans however for the final presentations for the fellowship I am going to use my Passover lesson plan.

I created a movie in iMovie with a Passover story. I had a Tellegami that was telling the story and it breaks away into a U-tube cartoon I found on Passover. I interject Tellegami in between during the movie to explain what’s what and each time will usually change the backdrop to something relevant to Passover. Or screen shot the movie they are watching and interject that as a backdrop to the Tellegami so it looks connected. As they watch the story I also have slides created in Explain everything of questions or comments that I write for them – their “food for thought” and it is on a chalkboard with my handwriting. The kids like to read this aloud as the movie plays. I usually run this through Tiltshift to enhance speed of the writing to x4 or x8.

In iMovie I add some special affects that the kids will usually find funny and as they watched they were very engaged and when they were polled at the end of class they all said this was a great way to learn about Passover and they like the movie mixed in with the other apps it kept it interesting.

Along with this in Tiny Tap – I have created games for Passover for them to work on at home and practice the 4 questions.

To round the lesson out we build a Passover plate and discuss customs of Passover and I feel the kids have Listened – Seen and Touched using all sensor’s enhancing their understanding.
