Secrets of The Body Farm: Video Reflection Activity

“This video from National Geographic, released in 2010,gives viewers an inside look at one such facility, and what researchers are learning about the morbid, but essential, study of human decay. The Forensic Anthropology Center at the Universityof Tennesseeis atwo-acre facility,according to Nat Geo, where there are upwards of 100 bodies in various stages of decomposition everyday.”

This video is available on YouTube for free. The link to the video is included with the download.

Several years ago I stopped using accompanying worksheets to videos I show in class. Too many times students are more focused in answering the questions, rather than absorbing what they are watching. But, I wanted the students to be actively engaged with the video. So, I started using “Video Reflections”.

The video reflection handout has two columns on it. Student write what they have learned on the column on the left. They write down any questions they have on the column to the right. At the end of class, each student needs to tell the teacher something they learned, or a question they have.

When given a choice, most students would rather have this type of assignment, compared to a worksheet.
