LORA BATCHELOR MIDDLE SCHOOL
Listen to reviews on our radio show
For educators and students who want to propose giving this type of learning experience a try at their school, it shows how kids make friends easily in many places. Definitely worth a view.
I found the connection between the students to be genuine. The film gives abundant time to show the students playing, comparing their worlds and creating friendships. We also learn interesting information about their country.
We are given the reason why the students are in England, what they do there and their final thoughts about their trip. It's everyday teenage communication that we listen to. They also comment on how different American accents are and how we use different words for the same thing. i.e. "candy" vs. "sweets" The sound quality waivers a bit but you can usually hear the conversations.
I enjoyed seeing students traveling to a different country and gaining a wider knowledge base of the world. It's not highly entertaining but it is informative.
This title is shot in the style of a home video. There are a lot of kid interviewers and interviewees. It is easy to watch and makes sense to the viewer. The audio and picture in this title is clear. The editing is done well and it appears that the kids involved had a lot of fun. It is set in the UK and shows lots of interesting venues in and around London. Reviewed by Ely B.
This is a documentary produced by middle school students about their partnership with a middle school in Southern England, and an exchange visit the American students made to spend a week in the British school. This video concentrates on the friendships that were made and what the students learned.
