Bringing Words To Life

This video is a synopsis of an innovative, award-winning project that my classes did at the end of a personal narrative unit in my 8th Grade Language Arts Class. The title of the video, Bringing Words to Life, comes from a quote from one of my students who saw her personal experience become a finely produced movie. When I asked what she thought of seeing her own story on the screen, she said that, it was crazy to see my words that I wrote come to life like that.

This problem based learning project took many hours of planning and production. However, the rewards were well worth it. By employing the technology at our disposal, the students were able to see their own personal narratives take shape in a way new and exciting to them, and in the process learn that their work doesnt always have to end as words on the page they can come to life!
