Dear Bruce,
There are some distinctive forms of the video projects. Drama and TV
news shows are very common. A couple years ago, puppet shows with
narration were also common, but not any longer. An example of drama
is a revised Titanic, in which students played different roles of the
movie, Titanic. I will compress one of the students work and make it
available on the web as soon as possible.
Best,
Kay
