This year my students read books about the impact of Hurricane Katrina using digital lit circles. Upon completion of their books/lit circles, students worked together to make documentaries on how the storm impacted different groups of people that experienced this catastrophe.
I recently had the opportunity to share this process and five tips that I found to be crucial for students to successfully create documentaries in middle school on one of my favorite educational websites, WeAreTeachers. This website is a great resource for classroom ideas and strategies, and I was honored to have a blog post featured.
Check out my post on 5 Steps to Creating Student Documentaries in Middle School. You won’t want to miss the FREEBIE that’s included!!
