Annual movies

The first graders have finished their "about me" movies in iMovie, and the second graders are about to start. Students will make a movie every year about who they are at that point in time, since they change so much so fast. When they graduate, they'll take all the movies with them on dvd as a sort of time capsule of their elementary school years.

In first grade, the movies are interviews with partners, in second, they write and read scripts, and in third-fifth they'll add new elements--editing, titles, transitions, music, still photos. This is a very new project, and I'm open to suggestions!
