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.
