Mrs. Willyerd's seventh grade science classes created Storm Stories where they were on location of a severe storm. Our classes explored hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and lake effect snow. The students were grouped in fours and the group determined a role for each student. There were two weather people who would be in front of the camera and delivering the weather report. There was a prop person who was in charge of brainstorming props that would make the weather report look authentic and assigning who would bring in which props. There was also a producer who was in charge of keeping the group on task, facilitating rehearsals, and coaching the other teammates for authenicity. All students in the group were required to write a script that would educate the viewers as to how the storm formed as well as including safety tips for viewers at home. We originally wanted to replace the green background with clips of storms, but we found that our prototype needed to be a more neon shade of green to reflect more light. Thus, the following Storm Story montage only debuts our raw green screen footage, but it is still educational and, at times, humorous. Enjoy!
