Freedom and film

Short film "Ghost Bike" is one of the films produced by Justin, Brianne, and Cami for our unit on Transportation. I developed this curriculum during Kupu Hou Academy, 2014, a summer professional development opportunity for teachers at Mid-Pacific Institute.

Because this project required students to work outside of school and coordinate their own schedules, students were able to choose their teams, choose their content, choose their roles (actor, editor, writer). My only requirement was that they had to include examples in the videos of the 20 English elements we are studying (motif, theme, symbolism etc.).

"Skate in the Moment" by Hooper, Payton, Luke, and Cameron was selected for the film competition at our school!
