Each school year my 8th grade social studies students must research a historic person or event and build a 3D Memorial. During the class presentation they are also required to play a dedication song that pays tribute to the person or event being memorialized.

I posted a few pictures below and many more projects can be viewed here...

In Spring 2008 my students created their own version of the "How Far We've Come" music video by Matchbox 20 using Sony Vegas Video click below to view a sampling...

That sounds like a really interesting idea! The kids must've loved it. I think that is totally doable. What grade do you teach?

John,

Absolutely inspiring! May I share with others when I make presentations? I will attribute to you and your students. Bena

Dear Johnathan I like your idea of taking the school beyond the four walls. I would like to appeal to some students and former students, with low literacy levels and rather bleak prospects, to re-engage in education. I would be great if I could stimulate their hearts and minds.

What inspiring projects and units of work for students! Well done. I shall return again as you have got my thinking going on how I could adapt some of your ideas to my ICT classes.
