Applying Clips

1. Students can record reflections at the end of a lesson as a review.  This would be great as a formative assessment, but also give student examples and explanations to share with other students who need a refresher.
2. In social studies students use primary sources, such as pictures.  Within ELA, they have to cite evidence to support claims.  These two line up well and Clips can help bridge the gap between text and images.  To start, students can import the historical image and then take short videos where they zoom in on the specific parts of the picture they are analyzing.  This will give a foundation for explaining themselves in writing when citing images.
3. At the end of a novel, or even when students independently finish books, they love to share book reviews.  Clips offers a great alternative where they would not have to complete the entire video in one take but could instead look at different aspects - such as character development and plot - before stringing them together for one video review to share.
4. Students could provide verbal feedback to each other during editing.  This would give a reference for students to refer to for their final drafts.  In Clips students can use images and write over the top to highlight specific areas of an essay that may need more attention while they are explaining.
