25 Day 7: Feedback Sessions 1.Feedback sessions are opportunities for students to share their work with others, explain their intentions, connect their process to their final product, and listen to the opinions of others. It is advisable to create safe and supportive learning environments before engaging in feedback sessions; here is more information: https://www.edutopia.org/article/teaching-kids-give-and-receive-quality-peer-feedback/ 2.If time allows, each group and individual student can share their work with the whole class. Other options include small group shares or gallery walks where students can freely walk around the room and watch different films (with headphones). 3.Teachers might ask the student presenter(s): a.What was your original inspiration? b.Did anything change throughout the process? c.What do you hope audiences will feel or understand after watching your film? d.Is there anything specific that you would like feedback on? 4.Teachers might ask the class: a.What did you see? What did you think? What did you wonder? (See-Think-Wonder) b.What did you like, and why? *A helpful “Ladder of Feedback” from Harvard’s Project Zero can be found here: https://pz.harvard.edu/resources/ladder-of-feedback. Day 8: Refining An important part of the artistic process is to make revisions and refine ideas. After feedback sessions, the filmmakers can consider if any changes need to be made to their final projects. This is also time to add credits and titles. Day 9: Writing Artist Statements a.An artist statement is a paragraph describing the artwork or film. (see example in Appendix X). It could also be a video statement in which the young filmmaker reflects on their process, source of inspiration, or the issue they chose to unpack. The objective is for the artist to reflect on their process while explaining their intentions and how they achieved their goals. b.Here are some prompts students can respond to while writing their Artist Statement: i.Explain your vision or idea ii.Describe what you learned in the process iii.What difficulties arose? How did you work through them? iv.What do you hope audiences will learn or feel by watching your film? Day 10: Screening and Celebration of Short Films: It is important that student work is valued and celebrated! Create a screening for the class, school community, or larger community so students can share their work and discuss their learning process.
