I'm using the "Story of Stuff" http://www.storyofstuff.com/
Watch the video online about the story of stuff and how it impacts us today.
Have students write out scripts presenting the "Story of Stuff" from their perspective.
Video the skits. Load into movie maker software and make a short video using the filmed segments. Burn to CD and show.
Comments
Kids love seeing themselves on film or video. They are doing this everyday with their phones and You Tube. Why not have them do it over school content they may not find so interesting. Getting even the reluctant kids involved.
