In our classroom, we enjoy making movies to extend our learning.  Writing scripts and working together to display our knowledge in a creative way are both benefits of movie-making in the classroom.  We use the movie-making process to help us understand, reinforce, and review new concepts we are learning in different areas of the curriculum.
