a) Diversify the projects. Instead of working on one big movie, Tom Sawyer's story, you'll be working on shorter mini-projects that will involve the use of video in the classroom. They could be worked on simultaneously, not necessarily consecutively. Some ideas we mentioned:
- Dracula
- Any topic/issue discussed in the Global Culture Class, e.g. the Caribbean
- School or local issues
Possible formats:
- News program
- Talk show
- Reality show
- Interview
- Documentary
- Lunch with...
- Video clip
- Commercial
- Public surveys
- A Day in the Life of ...
b) Importance of planning: as Friday afternoons become a long stretch for all three groups, planning for it is essential. This way activities will be better directed and all of the kids will feel they're actively taking part.
c) Any of the above mentioned formats would require extensive preparation and planning.
d) Importance of working together with Paula so that her students feel they're equally taking part in the project
