Again, this week we were able to go and interact with our classes for that block of time and really make some head way on our project. For the first time today, my crew was able to start filming and editing some of the footage that we had already gained with previous meetings. They were so excited to get the video ready for the world to see and getting their point of saving the world across. Some of them were writing scripts, while others were interviewing classmates from other crews and still others were picking music and title bars to accessorize our film. It was really amazing to be a part of. I loved seeing the progress that they were making and how well behaved everyone was because they were busy with projects to work on. There was little idle time and it showed what an asset that was to the class. In regards to our project report draft, I think that we have more than enough information to complete. We are so lucky to have such a great team of supportive teachers to be working with and are more than rolling with the assignment. We still need to work through the actual completion of the project with collecting donations and actually completing the website and video, but it is progressing nicely. The kids are all very excited and we have so much documentation to work from on the impact that children can have on the world. Some questions that we have are in regards to the actual completion of the project. We have forecasted that it will need to extend beyond our timeline of this class/semester and we’re hoping that presenting a working model at the showcase for this class was acceptable. We are more than willing to continue working outside the time needed for this course because we want the kids to be able to get the most that they can from this project. We want them to be able to see an end product and that their hard work can really pay off.
