Our students have been studying the books by author/illustrator Peter H. Reynolds. For this project, the students made a video that reinterpreted the books, using greenscreen technology to insert photos of themselves as the characters in the stories. The kids made their own artworks, selected their own props, posed themselves based on the artwork in the book, took their pictures with a digital camera, and recorded themselves reading the text! On Thursday, May 12th, 2011, our entire school participated in a Skype video chat with Mr. Reynolds, and got to interact with him and ask him questions. Mr. Reynolds share some of his personal stories with our kids and encouraged them to continue to foloow their own creative endeavors.
