Variations of Design

Thinking about the flood video in my last post, I though it would be useful show variations of the production that my students went through. The text is the same throughout, the only difference is design. Going from a written essay, to a slide show, to an audio 'photo story' and finally to full video. This isn't to say that the video option is always the best one, but from a presentation standpoint, which one do you prefer?

The Flood of '87

An example of one of our video projects. One student wrote the script, another narrated and another edited the video. It's an interesting way for the kids to learn to work together and how their part of the creative effort goes toward a larger goal.
