Our Natural Disasters Unit if one of the units that I look most forward to each year! The students worked with a group to complete research on a natural disaster of their choice. After completing the research, each group wrote a script for a news report that they would film using a green screen iPad app called Veescope Live! Each group chose a weather map image and a video clip of their natural disaster to be inserted in place of the green screen.
Each news report had to inform viewers about the following:
-Name
-Place the disaster is likely to occur
-Description of the disaster
-How it forms
-How it is measured
-Effects of the disaster
-Most devastating disaster of it's type in history
After filming, the groups then had to piece their recordings together and edit the final product using Movie Maker:
