I created a Moviemaker project on polluting and conserving our Earth. I chose this subject because I am concerned about our Earth and the affects that we continue to have on it. We all need to do our part in wrapping our arms around our Earth and making every effort to treat her with respect.
The standard that I used is a 3rd grade standard:
S3L2. Students will recognize the effects of pollution and humans on the environment.
S3L2. Students will recognize the effects of pollution and humans on the environment.
a. Explain the effects of pollution (such as littering) to the habitats of plants and animals.
b. Identify ways to protect the environment.
Conservation of resources
Recycling of materials
This project is targeted for elementary school age students. The plan is to share this movie during our morning news broadcast as part of our Environmental Kid’s Club promotion. It is the desire of our teachers and administrators to convince our students to become part of this club by working for our environment. Hopefully, this movie will speak to the hearts of students and urge them to take part in protecting our environment. This movie can also be used in conjunction with Earth Day.
I enjoyed using Movie Maker. It would have been better for the “emotional affect” if I were not restricted to put audio clips at the beginning, middle and end. I would have also preferred to use a different type of editing software such as Vegas Pro or Pinnacle to create the movie. I like Movie Maker because it is free, but it does not offer all the bells and whistles as other programs.
