During grad school, my video recording/editing class required a news-type submission on any topic of choice. After some thought, the idea emerged to take a fairy tale and consider how a roving reporter in Fantasyland might cover the news. The Three Bears was my first idea, and I ran with it. The bears were victims of a home invasion, so a perfect news segment. Not only was it a lot of fun, it was obvious this is a wonderful idea to use for students of all levels, and the media center is the place to start! Learning to record and edit video on a particular book, story or character will encompass a myriad of standards from technology to reading to writing, teaching those critical technology lessons while preserving literary knowledge.
Catch this late-breaking news-segment on The Three Bears to get ideas for your students!
