I am so impressed with how this class went. I do not even know where to start. First of all, students really picked up on the moves writers were using in their model texts of "This American Life" They had some very valuable take-aways from that activity. Students chose a theme for our show: Conspiracy Theories. Then we developed the concept for four acts: Act I: What is a Conspiracy Theory? This is where we will compile audio clips of students and teachers and friends of New Milford telling their personal conspiracy theories Act II: Silly Silly theories In this act, we explore the sillier theories, and a few of our own go on a trip in an attempt to confirm one conspiracy theory about Chuck E. Cheese. Act III: We can make our own... We make our own... lol Act IV: Why do we conspiracy theory? This is where we get all deep and smart :) Students spent the second half of class gathering interviews and we very quickly realized that we are going to have a harder time NARROWING down our content, than we will have FINDING content. In our second class: Students brought in their best interviews, we listened to them all, and decided which ones to cut together, and how to narrate our story. Students needed to fill in some gaps and went back out to gather more interviews!
