So your students can use it to film anywhere&#8230; even outdoors.  Today at Johnson Elementary, fourth graders were creating their own movie adaptation of <em>The Sign of the Beaver<\/em> book. Movie-making is an excellent way to review and check for comprehension of any book your students are reading. It also includes elements of research, collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity! For several days prior to filming, the students had worked in groups to develop their scripts and make their own props. Today was filming day, and I was in charge of holding the laptop\/camera while they performed.  It was quite entertaining!  The students did an excellent job speaking with expression.  After I shot the raw footage, the students were going to edit it using iMovie to add in the titles, music, and special effects.
