video, and the presentation will provide a succinct and comprehensible review. If they haven’t, or if you would
prefer to present the information in smaller segments, we suggest one of the following alternate means of
presentation:
1. Show the video in its entirety, but STOP it after the presentation of each individual period or
movement to check students’ comprehension and answer any questions that they may have. Sample
questions may include: Come si chiama questo movimento artistico? Chi sono gli artisti più
rappresentativi del movimento? Quali sono le caratteristiche principali della sua arte?
Cos’ha in comune con il movimento precedente e in cosa è differente?
2. Before showing the video, ask students (or pairs of students) to select one of the chapter openers. Tell
them that they should pay particular attention during the video to the presentation of “their” art, and
that they should take notes on the artist, period or movement, and its characteristics. At the
conclusion of the video, students can then share their information with the rest of the class by putting
the works in chronological order, by identifying the various artists and artistic movements by name
and (general) date, and by providing one characteristic of the fine art. In this way each student (or pair
of students) becomes the “expert” on that work of art and is responsible for conveying the information
to the class, and students need to listen to their classmates’ presentations to confirm understanding of
the other art, artists, and artistic movements.
3. Show the video in pairs of segments, over multiple class periods. Note that each time they watch a
segment, students watch the preceding segment first, as a review, followed by the new segment. By
repeating each previous segment before presenting the one that immediately follows, students’
background knowledge will be activated, and they will be better able to focus on the characteristics
that distinguish between periods or that mark the reaction of a new movement as a response to its
predecessor. Here are two ways to group the periods; you may wish to present (a) fewer segments
together or (b) more, depending on your students.
