10th grade American II students were tasked with creating a Photo Story on the Great Depression. They were asked to include historical images labeled with factual data and to set it to appropriate music. Students were given the option of recording a voice-over rather than using captions, none of the students chose to do so.=====

**iPhoto Book Jacket (Mac)**
11th grade World Studies students were given a list of historical figures from Chinese history. The were asked to write a brief biography about the person and design a book jacket using iPhoto. Students used images and text on the front and back covers, put their biographies on the inside flaps, and listed their sources on a page of the book. Projects were saved as pdf files and submitted using the dropbox on my website. Look at the links below or the printouts I have brought along.

**Photo Booth Commercials (Mac)**
11th grade World Studies students were given a primary document explaining the reasons the Berlin Wall was erected. This document was from the perspective of East Germany. They were asked to use this information to create a commercial or brief news clip in favor of the Berlin Wall. When students completed their recording they posted the videos onto the class Wiki. Samples can be seen below.

iMovie Mini-Documentary
11th grade World Studies students are in the midst of this project. Four days of library research time were scheduled, at the end of which students were required to have a completed script or story board. Yesterday the students were introduced to the iMovie software by the CFF Coach. They will be given a week to compile their narration, images, and moving footage into a 3-5 minute documentary. The documentary will then be shown to the class as we move through the final few chapters of the year. All the topics were taken from curriculum that will be covered in the fourth quarter.

Inspiration Timelines
10th grade American Studies II students were assigned a year in the 60s or the 70s. They were tasked with creating a timeline that incorporated events from many of the topics we covered- Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam War, Politics, Cultural Revolution, etc. Students used Inspiration to create these timelines.
