Above is a trailer compiling some highlights of the Myths created by our students. Because we have some students in these groups who wish not to be published, their teacher has posted the videos on a password protected page with parent permission. Want to know how to password protect a page on your Weebly website? Check out this handout so you can try it too!
Fifth Grade students took the lead on this project. After their unit study in Mythology, they were challenged to write their own myths to explain current day social or natural phenomenon. Students voted to determine which 3 myths would make the best screen plays. Groups were formed. Plots were thickened. Costumes were gathered. Sets were created. Students used a combination of set design and green screen imagery to create videos on their iPads to tell their stories. Once the videos were completed, video and images were uploaded to our network servers to facilitate team access. Then the iMagic began. Using our Macbook lab and iMovie 11, students edited video filmed on their iPads, over-layed green screen footage, cropped images, added background music and ....Voila! Watch out Cannes, our kids are going to give you a run for your money! Now screening Water, Santa S. Clausberg is Coming to Town and How the Tooth Fairy Came to Be.
