5th Grade Student Films:
These films were written, acted, and directed by fifth grade students. Each team of students came up with an important social issue they thought younger students should know about, and they worked with each other to create a story that illuminated why the issue was important. After making their puppets, they alternated between researching, writing and filming. They shot all their footage in front of a green screen and added backgrounds in iMovie during post-production. The result is a collection of mature, poignant and creative short films about bullying, homelessness, energy consumption and natural disaster relief.

2nd Grade Student Films
Every kid has an inner incredible.The Social Thinking curriculum helped 2nd grade special education students to identify theirs. In art class students designed and created masks and t-shirts that would help them transform into their incredible.They worked in teams to develop a plot for 2 short films which feature students as both themselves and as their Incredibles. Students learned about the parts of a movie including the beginning, middle and end and conflict/resolution so that they could apply this organization to their own social situations and also so they can educate the community about solving social problems that are relevant to them. In both films, a group of students goes on an adventure only to have it complicated by various conflicts. Each student must access his or her inner incredible to help the entire group of students continue on in their adventure.
