Essays are so.... yesterday

The Assignment

If you're familiar with the Hand Approach, then Super Lenses is going to look familiar. The Hand Approach encourages students to look at a topic through five different lenses, each corresponding with a finger on their hand. Super Lenses takes that concept one step further. Now, along with a different lens, students are also getting a different writing project. From Infographics to interactive poems to 1-minute videos, we are encouraging students to present their writing in a variety of ways!

Project Plans + Handouts

For each of the 5 projects in this Super Lenses resource, we provide a step by step plan as well as helpful handouts (both print and fillable pdfs) to make this unit easy to prep. Just grab and go!

Templates + Tutorials

With five different projects, Super Lenses can seem a little overwhelming, that is why, when possible, we provide Canva templates and video tutorials as additional resources that can be shared with students.

Reflection Sheets

We believe that growth mindset is important, but students need to have plenty of opportunities to reflect...not just on the final product....but also on the process. As a part of this project, we provide several reflection sheets that can be used to guide a conversation or as a written reflection on both the students' final product as well as the process they used to get there.

Storyboarding 101 Packet

Writing for film. In the 5th project in the Super Lenses unit, we suggest students write and film their own short video. Although technology, has made recording and editing video much more accessible, it hasn't helped students organize their thoughts, or consider their camera shots before shooting. That is where storyboarding can help, and this Storyboarding 101 guide can help!
