Movie Maker - Cavoodle In The Kitchen

This is my attempt at "Thinking Outside The Box".

This movie was my attempt to engage students into a tactile activity. I would use this movie to encourage students with disabilities - particularly those that I profiled in an earlier blog, to do a number of activities and investigations. By modelling the activity from a dogs point of view, I have removed the teaching focus from the teacher. I would use this movie in a number of different ways to engage the students. They would include but are not limited to:

1. Writing up a 'method' for cooking the muffins.
2. List of things that you can and can't do in a kitchen. Cooking Rules.
3. List important factors when cooking muffins. (A.S.D. students like making lists)
4. Investigate what dogs really do and don't eat.
5. Investigate and research different muffin recipes.
6. Investigate and research where muffins came from (country of origin).
7. Investigate and research other products that can be made from a box.
8. Investigate and research the breed of dog.
9. Investigate and research tricks that dogs can be taught.
10. Use as a model for cooking muffins.
11. Investigate the ingredients on a box and relate this to what is in the pantry.

The list could be unlimited but would be determined by the students interest and prior knowledge. In this case, as these students tested high in the self-interest area of learning, I would link this to their pets and encourage them to take photos in a similar style with their pet doing something 'different' and make a movie from it.
