Genre Shifting Movie Project - ASL, World Language, Deaf/HH

This super fun activity is great for an assessment at the end of the semester or to finish out the school year. Students love this little change up because it lets them be creative. Students take a famous movie everyone knows, change the genre, and make a 10 - 15 minute movie.

This movie activity has 3 parts if you choose to include all: A movie trailer, a movie poster, and the final movie. Many activities can be completed on a sub day. This project allows students to be creative and have control over showcasing what they know and can do.

I use this assignment as an end of the year final exam for a level 3 and 4 language class.
