Motions Club Project Description

Tell your story, be heard” "Tell your story, be heard" is a project that focuses on capturing images and movies that tell a story. This project also hopes to capture students' lives as teenagers and allows them to express themselves. Participants will develop a movie on topics such as their dreams, family life, daily routine, their opinion on issues etc. Then the club members have the ability to comment on other collages in the club to learn more. This project allows students to recognize their similarities and differences but acknowledge their common humanity. Topic Suggestions In School Around the House/Family After School/Extra Curricular
