Senior students were required to create an Animoto Video that highlighted themes that were found in "The Narrative of Frederick Douglass" by Frederick Douglass. Each student selected their own pictures from various internet websites and inserted their own personal messages/themes that they felt were relevant to the autobiography. Above is my personal sample that I showed the students in order to give them a visual guideline. Enjoy!

Spring-Senior Grant Project
Students of my senior English class, created a video that reflected the themes and content from the novel “Deadline” by Chris Crutcher. Creating this video helped the students connect both physically and personally to the fictional characters of the novel. Placing them in the predicament of having “only one year to live”, made them realize the benefits of life and friendships. Each group selected ten peers to interview and asks the questions below. After interviewing, the students then collaborated and edited their group interviews to create the final project.
