| Teacher: Mr. Lee Grade 11 Mr. Lee is a teacher consultant with the Bay Area Writing Project. |
||
| Students in Mr. Lee's eleventh-grade Humanities classes focused on the question "What is it to be an American?" Participating students explored the immigrant experience from the point of view of different nationalities and different generations. They conducted research on relevant historical material and then created their own fictionalized first-person scripts, basing their treatments of character and events on information gleaned from their research. Students collaborated in small groups and used their first-person vignettes to create voiceovers for short digital films. They next selected relevant imagery to illustrate and support the distinct voices and perspectives in their writing. Finally, they created titles, worked with transitions, and experimented with special effects to complete their projects. To view the digital stories, click an image below. |
