Lights...Camera ...Action!

Signal to Noise is a district wide moving images competition. Signal to Noise!  Our classroom began the process around the end of January.We understood that this was an extra and only possible if we continued to work on our academics. They earned this reward because of their behavior in and out of the classroom. Our experience with project based learning also made the transition to film making a breeze! The students sacrificed many recesses and even attended a filming session set after school hours to be part of the film.
Student groups came up with an idea, wrote a script, created a storyboard, cast roles, filmed, added music and titles, revised, revised, revised, and, finally, created their published video.

I am so proud of their effort, cooperation and creativity.The district is also honoring us by sharing inspirational videos to encourage film making and the process involved. Here are the videos --enjoy!
