Project Trailer Byrd Project Trailer Film

This video was made by students in Room 405. The directors of the video were Daviell, Lamarius, Raynard and Ricky. We asked for help from Ms. Percak. She is from the Collaboratory. She taught us how to storyboard and then create a good video. We think they did an excellent job showing the problems with our school and with showing the steps we have gone through with Project Citizen.

Video 1 - Project Citizen

Some of the things that are being read during the video are Eric Zorn's article in the Chicago Tribune and letters that we have written to people to get the word out. The readings are part of our reading time with Mr. Schultz. You can probably hear him in the video teaching us about some things.

We think that it is pretty cool to be able to read about ourselves during reading time!

We also have a pretty cool slide show that we put together as a class with some help from Ms. Percak from the Nothwestern Collaboratory. Check it out below:
