Part of Lesson Plan: This Means This This Means That Part 1

Activity Overview / Details

Instructions to students:

You will produce a Keynote/Powerpoint slide show that is similar conceptually to Hoffman and Mercadante's video "Words". 

- First brainstorm and create a list of at least 8 words that:

Change meaning as their context changes at least 3 times

- Then search the web for images that match up to your words, and each of the contextual instances within which they are being used, and save then into a folder for this activity.

- Using the images you collected create a slide show in either Keynote or Powerpoint.  Pay attention to composition of each slide and how it fits into the whole piece.  Pay close attention to transitions and their duration.

After you create your slide show, label the file clearly with your name and email it to me (the teacher).

Pieces will be viewed by the class either via a blog or with a projector in the classroom.
