March On Washington, 1963

We will be reenacting the 1963 March on Washington.  Every group will be assigned a part of the march.  Before we can choose parts, you will need to read more about the march online and choose two or three parts of the march that you'd like to reenact with your group.  (See links below)

We’ll divide up the parts and each group will create a short video (between 6 and 16 seconds!) of their segment.  These are serous reenactments and must be respectful to the participants. Videos should have no student names or laughing. 

You may use a camera I have in class or you can film after school with your Smartphone.  You can use apps like Vine or Instagram, the native video app on your phone, or a camera that can shoot video.  You can always use apps to edit like these (choose the free ones), but it's not necessary.  

These are not to be posted online by you but rather emailed to me at school.  Emails with the videos as attachments must have your block and a topic!

• History Channel's March on Washington site
• Wikipedia's site
• Or simply Google March on Washington
