Keywords: video production
Subject(s): Video, Social Skills, Technology, Special Needs, Service Learning, Drama, Civics
Grades K through 5
School: Stanton Elementary School, Fenton, MO
Planned By: cathy westbury
Original Author: cathy westbury, Fenton
Objective--to integrate Covey's 7 Habits into the school culture, classroom, and curriculum

Student Production Leaders will be trained in the use of the flipcams by our community partners during recess time. (editing, filming, special effects etc....)

Writing leaders will write scripts based upon the 7 Habits of Happy Kids that illustrate each habit.
Performing Arts leaders will act out the script as Production Leaders film it. Sometimes it may be a panel that is responding to a current situation (i.e. service learning project or field trip to local shelter or perhaps simple interviews about being a good bystander)

Production leaders, with help from the community partners will edit the production for Monday mornings newscast, "Good Morning, Stanton".

Cross-Curriculum Ideas
As students become adept at flipcam use, teachers will use them for classroom productions geared to social studies or reading and posted on teacher websites for student/parent use or for student discussion.
