Part of Lesson Plan: Lights, Camera, Action! The Biotech Experience: Introduction

Activity Overview / Details

• Reinforcement: Think-pair-share as a class what goes into the 3 parts necessary to making a quality video: preproduction, production, post-production (from Dr. Monkey!).  Have kids take notes.  (It is not important to capture this all forever, like the next part of the modeling activity is; many of these activities will be explicitly taught in later lessons.)
• Brainstorm the types of Biotech Activities that should be included in the video.  Make a list of ALL activities, no matter how silly!  The list should be in a format that can be displayed in the class for the duration of the project: poster paper, flip chart paper, a whiteboard that won’t be used again, etc. etc., then post.
