Creating a Lib-Dub creative, collaborative video
Creating a lip-dub video is not a new phenomenon. Creating one with a class of students is not something I've done before. Thought about it - yes. Planned it out - somewhat. Actually doing it - not yet. So it's time to try.
Figuring out how it fits into the 'curriculum' and where to schedule this activity was the first challenge. Then, working out some of the logistics to prepare for this event took some time. Viewing and reviewing videos, blogs, resources linked to this creative process took some time. Narrowing down the search for relevant and manageable materials was necessary. Sometimes decisions were difficult - weighing all the options and making sure pros & cons were considered.
Viewing some school and classroom examples helps understand the genre as well as craft strategies.

Preparing some documents and links to manage the selection and collection came next.
Thinking about where and how the students would become actively involved in this collaboration was essential to ensure everyone had a part to play and was engaged in the process and final product. Reflection and response was an important part of the whole process.
