I want to be in movies!

The students would be given a topic of study to research on the internet. For example: If we are studying Clementine Hunter, the students would go online to research her life. They may find pictures of her or her work. The students would then begin writing a script for a brief movie. After deciding what content to include in the story, the students could save pictures from the internet or act out the story themselves. While performing, the students will video record or photograph pictures. The students will then create a story board and narrate the pictures on movie maker or photo story. The finished product will be shared with their peers. Having researched and created the movies themselves, the knowledge should stay with them.
