Students will start out with this driving question.

Driving Question:
How can we produce a video to inform students at our school about how to prevent Cyberbullying?

Students will brainstorm with the teacher on elements that would be good to put into a 60 second video about Cyberbullying.

Once the brainstorm list is completed the teacher will break the class into teams of 3-4 students (depending on the size of the class). It would probably be best with this age level to pick the groups for them.

Students will now work in groups to create their storyboard of their 60 second informational video of how to prevent Cyberbullying. Once the storyboard is completed they will show it to the teacher for approval. Students will take suggestions and make revisions on the storyboard before they start filming.

Students will decide the following tasks:
o Who will be the leader to make sure all tasks are being completed
o Who will work the video camera
o Who will be in the video
o Who will be in charge of editing the video
o The location of the video
o When shooting of the video will start
o Decide the order they will shoot the video in
o Any props or other equipment they may be needed

Elements that need to be in the video:
o Ways to prevent Cyberbullying
o Music
o Video
o Text
o Pictures
o Transitions

Whenthe video is complete it will be rendered to be uploaded on the school’s website for all students, parents, administration and community members to see.
