Loyalist or Patriot Movie Trailers

Students in Fourth Grade at Jamestown Elementary School depicted the difficult choice made by early colonists living in Virginia at the start of the Revolutionary War. Each pair of students was given a script and told to use their creativity to act out the difficult decision. Using iMovie on the iPad, the students used one 45 minute period to record their actions. They were given an additional 45 minute period to add the text, choose graphics and layouts, and export their finished trailer to the Photo Album. Once finished, all the movies were uploaded to the teacher's desktop to be shared through Blackboard.
