I decided before christmas that I wanted to give my 3rd years a leaving present, so I suggested that we make a music video together. There were 7 classes each with about 35 students, and together we chose a song and then I taught them the meaning / and gave each class a verse or chorus to learn.
Then the following week we filmed everything in a 45 minute lesson! That might not seem too bad to most of you but believe me when I say that is no small feat! especially since I spent more time trying to control the class, or motivate students to participate rather than actually doing any filming.
But somehow it all came together, with a few rough edges. Sadly, because a few classes were away I couldn't finish the video until graduation day, so I didn't get to show the students personally, I told them all to check it out online, it's kind of a shame really. But i'm really proud of them and will miss them all very much.
