Display the Course Presentation in the student chapter What’s in the Frame?<\/a><\/p>\n

Show the first two slides.<\/p>\n

Show the first two slides of What\u2019s in the Frame?<\/em><\/p>\n

Explain that slide 2<\/strong> is what we usually see when we watch something on a screen (whether it\u2019s a TV screen, a movie screen, a computer or a phone).<\/p>\n

Does it look like a real conversation happening in a real kitchen?<\/p>\n

Sentence starter: <\/strong>A real kitchen looks like… This looks like…<\/p>\n

Now show slide 3 and ask students what they can now see outside <\/em>the frame:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/header>\n

\n

Sentence starter: <\/strong>“I can see…”
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cameras and camera operators<\/p>\n

Lights<\/p>\n

Microphones<\/p>\n

The tops of the \u201cwalls\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also, now that we\u2019ve seen outside the frame we know that some things that looked real \u2013 like the leaves outside the window \u2013 are fake.<\/p>\n

Point out that besides what\u2019s hidden by the frame, we also can\u2019t see anything that the camera isn\u2019t pointed at (for example, we can\u2019t see the person who took the picture. We also can\u2019t see that there is an audience sitting behind the person who took the picture.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Show slide 4<\/strong> and ask students what they think they might see if the camera pulled back and we saw outside this frame.<\/p>\n

Question prompt:<\/strong> “I wonder what we might see if…”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now show slides 5<\/strong> through 7 <\/strong>and highlight that each pair of images is from the same moment.<\/p>\n

Ask students:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/header>\n

 <\/p>\n

How are the images different?<\/p>\n

How do they feel <\/strong>different?<\/p>\n

How do the differences between the images affect how they make us feel?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next, go to slide 8 and watch the Hippo 2.0 <\/em>video again, then go to slide 9.<\/p>\n

Ask students: how was it different to watch the video now that you know how it was made? Was it still hard to believe the hippos weren\u2019t real?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Show slide 10 <\/strong>and ask students: How would the video be different if you only saw the first part?<\/p>\n

Example think-aloud: <\/strong>“What would I think about house hippos if I only saw the first part? I might think they were real because they look real in the video.
