LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION....



Our Newbery Medal podcast/movies are almost complete!  I hope your child has shared this exiting project with you over the past month.  The students read a Newbery Medal or Honor book, choose one scene from the story, wrote a story board, and then a script.  They learned so many skills from this project and sharpened others, such as revising!  They also discovered how to adapt a story into a movie script, adding dialogue, stating the story from a character's point of view, and interpreting what the author might think is the important point within the scene.  We then did podcasts, found pictures that represented the scene or characters, and are now in the process of putting them into iMovie.  Below is Nadia's finished movie.  Take out some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy!!  (I'll be posting other movies under the "Student Work" tab.
