Free lesson: The Editing Room (Grade 11 English)
Try a complete lesson free: students edit the same twelve documentary clips into two opposite stories and discover how editing creates truth.
This is a complete lesson from ENG3U Unit 6, Truth on Screen, free to download and use. It's exactly what you get in the paid units, so you can see the quality before you buy.
Students learn the Kuleshov effect, then use an original shot log from a fictional town debate about a skatepark to build two opposite stories from the same footage, and write their own rule for when editing becomes distortion.
What you get
- A teacher lesson plan with curriculum expectations, learning goals, success criteria, a timed sequence, differentiation and an answer guide
- A 15-slide deck with speaker notes on every slide: what to say, what to ask, what to look for and how long to spend
- Student handouts: the Shot Log and Two Edits organizer
- Editable Word and PowerPoint files, plus PDFs
