Where I am in my project...

I have started my students on this project which is a persuasive movie made on Movie Maker. They've researched their topics and are getting into their interview questions and brainstorming ideas for commercials. It has been so interesting to watch them come to their own conclusions about very heavy topics such as corporal punishment, gender issues, and school violence. It makes me feel good that they are beginning to really think critical about real world issues. They will be working on their project for about a week and a half more until they put it all together in Movie Maker. I am so excited to see the final products!
