Writing for the Big Screen: Literacy Experiences in a Moviemaking Project
Bedard, Carol; Fuhrken, Charles
Language Arts, v89 n2 p113-124 Nov 2011
An integrated language arts and technology program engaged students in reading and writing activities that funded an experience in moviemaking. With video cameras in hand, students, often working collaboratively, developed expanded views of the writing and revision processes as they created movies that mattered to them and found an audience beyond the school walls. (Contains 3 figures, 1 footnote and 4 online resources.)
