Participants will learn how to introduce students to documentary creation, from brainstorming a topic, to storyboarding, to final editing. We analyze scenes from documentary vignettes to understand the audio/visual aspects of filmmaking. We introduce sources of copyright friendly media as well as materials used to teach citation of these sources. Finally, we will showcase our use of the video editing platform, WeVideo.

This presentation will feature all three project collaborators, including the ITF, librarian, and classroom teacher, whose students later placed 3rd in the nationwide C-SPAN Student Cam contest.

  • Diversity The Documentary NOW project is designed to highlight diverse viewpoints. Students are allowed to choose their own topics but are taught how to access research databases and interview subjects with viewpoints differing from their own. Lessons include graphic organizers--scaffolds to help map out documentary ideas and design--and the final product allows students to tell their story in nontraditional ways. Lastly, students are also provided with school and public library technology, so that the project does not rely on the resources families have at home.
