Given the opportunity students will become totally engaged in their work. This was the case when Dr. Michael Murphy created an assignment that combined poetry and movie making. All the students in his AP English Literature and Composition reported that this assignment motivated them to do their best possible work. The quality of the videos reflects the effort spent on creating the videos. The examples below were chosen not necessarily because they were the best, but because they were best suited for showing on Google Video. |
