Awhile back, I came across a collection of lesson plans online that was a collaboration between Google Play and the makers of the film "Interstellar". On the site, there were inventive and innovative lesson plans created by Google Certified Teachers to get students excited about the sciences and storytelling.
One of the lessons that really caught my eye a Video Time Capsule project written by Michael Hernandez, an amazing GCT from Los Angeles. Its basic premise is that students will create a multimedia time capsule that collects the best of life on Earth at this moment in time. When I pitched the project to my 7th graders, they absolutely loved it and got right to work.
It's interesting to see how my 7th graders interpreted the project and what they chose to include. I plan on differentiating the project to include a focus on scriptwriting and soundtrack with my 8th graders to see where they take it. Still, I am thrilled with what my 7th graders put together and hope you enjoy it too.
