Eighth Grade Language Arts classes read and studied Edgar Allen Poe and his style of writing. Students were then challenged to rewrite a nursery rhyme and make it sound like something Poe would have written. Students were encouraged to create suspense by paying attention to word choice and sound effects. They were challenged to "create" which is at the very top of Bloom's Taxonomy.
After each student created their own poem, groups of three students combined the best elements of each poem into one. Groups then
storyboarded pictures and animations to go with the poem. Students recorded their poem in Garageband and added sound effects. In iMovie the soundtrack from Garageband was combined with photos from iPhoto to create a video story.
The final creative product is very open ended. Some students explored making a stop motion animation while others ventured into more sound effects to enhance the presentation.
Below are two examples of finished products.
