In the Spring of 2014, Jason, Taylor, Paul and Eli, students in one of our Grade 4-5 classes, read the story "The North Wind and The Sun" in their guided reading group. Jason and Taylor enjoyed the story so much that they wanted to act out the story in a CCGS Town Meeting, for the whole school to see. Jason and Taylor got Paul and Eli onboard, as well as Mrs. Katty Vargas, their guided reading teacher.
Mrs. Vargas took Jason and Paul's performance idea a step further, by having them record a video of their performance of the story, which would then be shown at a town meeting. Mrs. Vargas involved me (Mr. Nembhard) in this video project as well; I recorded the students (and Mrs. Vargas, also an actor in the story) in front of our media room's green, and then edited in a changing background and some light visual effects, to complete the video.
