In conjunction with their English classes, the 6th graders just finished a video project. With Mrs. Bartlett’s group, the students used their persuasive writing pieces to create a short advertisement to persuade their viewers. In Mrs. Holden’s class, the students took either their “Where I’m From” poems or a vignette as the subject for their short videos.

This fall, in their English and technology classes, the 8th graders created book trailers (much like movie previews) for their summer reading books. In groups, they organized their ideas, found their media resources, and produced their trailers using iMovie. Take a look and see what you may want to read soon.
