Are we up for creating something meaningful and lasting for our Black History Assembly?
If so then we need to start NOW.
If you have a passion then say yes and share some initial thoughts. But don't fake it if this type of thing is not for you then let us know. I will share some of the former Remembrance Day movies to show you what you are capable off a likely by the end you will surpass what my classes have done in the past!
i would love to do the movie since we get to have alot of fun filiming it and acting it.

ReplyDeleteBlack History Month is a worthy cause and we do need to do something.I'm interested in participating,but not in the movie itself.I can help with teh script of character design itself.Along with the movie,small writing projects or art should be incorporated.Posters that promote this should be put up by us.Then again,this is just an idea,and it will only be possible if there are people who'd like to do it.
ReplyDeleteI would like to make a black history movie. I think that if we were to make a movie, some of the younger kids would no more about what this month if for and the readon why we celebrate it every year.
ReplyDeletei think its a good idea, we will probably have fun and it will be a worthy cause like gurinder said.
ReplyDeleteI think we should make a movie because it would be a great experience and we can all work together and have a fun time doing it and of course Mr.Cheney can brag about how good it was.
ReplyDeleteid be interested in joining in on this project and an idea for the movie could be in the present day a couple of youth during black history month day hear a story from their grandmother/grandpa
ReplyDeleteand the story is the movie,following some of thier ancestors on their road to freedom , and how they meet harriet tubman and a couple of home owners that save them from the slave catachers and help them maintain their freedom.
i would like to do the black history film, i think it would be amazing.i think it will probably put us in the position of being {acting}in someone elses shoes.(but to do that you need to research alot of the cpeople who were slaves or lived during those times.but you would need to be in character, and i love to laugh!!)
ReplyDeletei can help with the editing of the maive and trying out the diffrent programs they have for the movie maker
ReplyDeleteOne of my idea for black history month is that we are runing away from the hunters in a feild and dogs then we see a house(portables)and the owner gives us something so the dogs lose our scent.
ReplyDeletea movie seems like an intersting and fun thing to do. it may be hard work but it will be worth it because its an important cause like remembrance day. but of course, this movie will only be possible if most of us agree to do it.
ReplyDeleteI would like a movie about black history month but I don't want to be in the film.I would rather be a part of the back stage crew or anything else that involves not being in the film.
ReplyDeletei would love making this movie brainstorming and filming seanes and at the same time learning more about blck history, not to mention experementing with now programs and tools to make this movie a great hit count me in
ReplyDeleteid be interested in the movie. i was thinking that we can do a journey of the underground railroad in the beumonde park in the path in between the bridge theres a path to go to the park it is all trees and when you go further down it gets darker it looks almost the same as the underground railroad because last year in mrs jaffer's class we saw a movie of some people trying to get across america where there was lots of slavery and there was a person who helped them get across and there were safe houses.
ReplyDeleteAn idea of for the movie might be about the north star.That one that people who were going to run away from their owners that immorally owned them.
ReplyDeletei can be an actor i've always wanted to do that!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a worthy cause if we do it we will be the only class that has done something so big and it will show that we actually care about black history and that we care for the ones that died such a bad and lonely death as a slave then the ones like Rosa parks and martin luther king
ReplyDeletei think its a great idea to do a movie for black history month and i agree we do have to start now. but wevery one has to be 100% commited or else i wont gol as smooth as it could be.it would also be a great way to learn more things while we act them out.
ReplyDeleteBUT to do it you will need to learn a lot about them because you can't act like someone without knowing nothing about them.
ReplyDeletei think a movie would be a fun thing to do and i would like to be apart of it. I think that starting to work on the movie a few months before is a great idea because if anything goes wrong we could work on it again and we would have everything ready before the actual assembly.
ReplyDeletewe have to make this film amazing make it be remembered!!because my bro told me that their film for remembrance day.so my bro said that mr cheney said that their film was so good,he never made another one since.so this could be a good start fo this class!!
ReplyDeletei think a movie would be great idea to do in the black history month it would create a excting thing to look forward for the little kids. also i was thinking about making it like a real story so that it would be remembered.
ReplyDeleteI would like to participate in this black history month movie .. i would be very interested etc. We could play roles of many of the black histyory people like hairret tubman and martin luthur king jr. etc.
ReplyDeletein think making the movie will be a good experience for all of us, and we can probably learn alot, but everyone has to be commited.
ReplyDeleteI think its a good idea because ythen people will know how people felt and were like back then.
ReplyDeleteill be helping adam with editing with movie maker and co camra man
ReplyDeletei wouldn't mind being in the movie but i don't know what i'd do.
ReplyDeleteif were going to do this we should start a role call so ill start im going to be an actor
ReplyDeleteBlack History month is the month when we remember the time how Nelson Mandela and Rosa Parks gave freedom to black people. So I think we should make a movie because if we do a play someone could forget their line and it could get out of control, so a movie gives us the chance to redo our line if someone makes a mistake.
ReplyDeletei love acting so i call acting
ReplyDeleteand helping in the making of the scripting.
i am producer ill make sure that we will have no problems, well no major problems and resolve them and i could be a camera man i got a lot of senereos of what we can put a view on to make the film
ReplyDeletethe ladies could wear dresses and skirts and look like how people looked a long long long time ago.
ReplyDeleteresearch and knowledge essential, we want to be accurate,
ReplyDeletesolid script essential, solid camera and tech crew essential, committed wardrobe and props essential, actors essential, passion essential
it seems we have the right pieces here.
Vanessa you are right the last Remembrance day movie I made was epic 17 minutes long and without any doubt the best thing I have been responsible for as a teacher. It is my proudest moment. Student driven and motivated it is what teaching/leadership/collaboration is all about
I think we have the potential to surpass this...what do you think...i should bring in this film to show you.
a movie would be a great idea if we can come up with ideas taht will suit the theme
ReplyDeleteone question do we have to act in this movie or can we be a part of the set-up crew?
ReplyDeleteThe Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses that was used by 19th-century black slaves to escape to free states or to Canada. Some routes even laed to Mexico or overseas.Canada was a popular destination with over 30,000 people arriving there to escape enslavement.It was said that by 1850,100,000 slaves that had used the Underground Railroad had escaped slavery. During the night the slaves would move, traveling about 10–20 miles (15–30 km) per night. They would stop at the so-called “stations” or "depots" during the day and rest. While resting at one station, a message was sent to the next station to let the station master know the runaways were on their way. Sometimes boats or trains would be used for transportation.
