Okay, here we go, on to iMovie. I feel that this project will take more planning than I can imagine. Even before I begin to use the story board handout I need to do some preplanning. I'm sure a good movie, like any good story telling, needs a strong beginning, middle, and end. A good movie will hold an audience's attention, and they will be more informed than they were before. It seems imposible to do all of that in a 1 minute movie! I am feeling a bit overwelmed I guess. I do know, however, that students are a lot more at ease with video cameras than I will ever be, on either side of the lens.

I think I will use the instrument assembly idea. I will ask the 7th graders to help me. They are a small group and usually quite enthusiastic to try new things.

I really have to wonder how this thing is gonna turn out!
