"Walk Like an Egyptian"

During this semester the students will be studying Ancient Egypt. To take this lesson plan from the text books and into the world of technology the students will be put into groups and create their own music videos of the original song "Walk Like an Egyptian". During the first week, the students will re-write the lyrics to be educational and record their version of the song using music software and microphones on their classroom computers. The second week they will design their set and create a storyboard for their music video. The third week the groups will each have 3 days to film their videos using FLIP cameras and FLIP share software. Once they have finished filming the students will work as groups in the computer lab to edit their videos using the video editing software. They will have three days during the fourth week to complete their editing. Lastly on week 5 the students will present their videos to their classmates and there will be a vote on the most popular, most educational, and most creative videos.
