Hurricane Katrina

It has been two years to the day that we made this video- I publish it for the first time in memorium to those lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina. We spent one school day preparing and filming the video. We based the day around Bloom's Taxonomy with the class gathering content through the discussion of photographs I had found on the internet the night before. We then divided into teams and each prepared a section, tying it all together by making a news report. We started to run out of time as the three o'clock bell came so we had to film some of the rain sequence inside as we didn't have time to go outside to film! Because of the tight time frame we had little time for rehearsal and the children had total control over what they wanted to say. I edited that night in iMovie and was pretty pleased with the result- both with the children's learning & engagement and technically with the production. It is good that we can publish our work to a wider audience for the first time since Hurricane Katrina hit. I do apologise to those for whom the video took a longer time to download but did not want to miss anything from what the children had done. 23 MB 4 minutes 42 seconds
