The class room teacher reviewed the subject matter they had learned through their textbook and a DVD documentary.

First created a trailer together as a group.

Then in partners.

editable video through Discovery Education

Reminding students that they are creating their own, unique version.

+What did we learn?

It helped them check their grammar, vocabulary, and use of images.

Partners are great for editing each other's work and grammar.
