JH English Classes Create Movies
The Junior High students worked diligently on a Movie Scene project for class this week. The students were given a partner and a piece of paper. They used the given set of paragraphs from one chapter to create a "movie" scene with the information the book provided. They had to look closely for specific details in the book to determine what the background should look like, where the characters are, what actions are happening, etc. Once the scenes were drawn, they displayed them in sequential order with the book on the board.
