The Reading Class' Final Video - the Mortimer Play
This is the "published" Photo Journal the Writing Class created; it is designed to tell the story of the days at the Academy, one photo per day. The students then layered on bits and pieces of writing they did during the class including jigsaw stories, "treasure box" and acrostic poems, 100-word narratives, and... not too much from the narrative and persuasive essays we focused on the most - those did not lend themselves to picturesque journals quite as well.
