CHOICE Film Festival

April 2009. Scarsdale Middle School, CHOICE program. Collaborating teachers: Cindy Seidel, Marci Rothman, Kristen Martin.
CHOICE held its First Annual Documentary Film Festival on Tuesday, April 21st from 8:20 - 10:00 in the Middle School Auditorium.  I was invited to be one of the judges. CHOICE 8th grade students had been learning about global economic, environmental and political issues.  They worked in groups to select topics to investigate further, such as: gender roles, global economy, the Middle Eastern conflict, etc.  They spent many weeks researching, planning, filming and editing their stories with the top five being shown at the film festival.
