Introduction

Handout gallery walk forms and explain how they will be used over the course
of the class.

Body

Each group will take 3 laptops and set up their presentation.

Once all the groups have set up their assignments we will begin our mini-

presentations
Each groups gets 30seconds to tell us about their project (this can be
done by one person or by multiple people)
o They should introduce the topics they chose to use
o What format their assignment comes on
o If there are any audio components
Once all groups have gone we will begin circulating through the class (some
stations may be set-up in the LC to accommodate for space)

Students are to look for information they did not find in their own research.
This may include material from a brand new topic or additional information
from the topic they researched themselves. The purpose of this is to ensure
that students have as much contextual information possible prior to
beginning the film study.

Everyone will get 5-10 minutes at each station prior to rotating (time will
depend on length of set-up and project explanations).

Once all rotations have been completed students will return laptops and
being work on group evaluations.
Closure
