"Digital Documentary"
To help meet the needs of high ability
students, a challenge within the curriculum is created through this
project that allows them to synthesize and utilize information in new
contexts. These students are asked to choose a topic, which
extends a unit from the classroom curriculum, then research their topics
to create a Digital Documentary. Its objective is to promote and
foster interest in science or social studies, and extend their learning.
The students integrate the knowledge
they acquire conducting research by combining images, words, voice, and
music into a digital format with Audacity and
Microsoft Movie Maker applications. The project builds strengths in the
areas of research, writing, visual literacy, application, design, and
synthesis for the purposes of differentiation.
