every year, the grade 7's in my board go to tim horton's camp on onondoga farms in st. george, ontario (just outside brantford) for a diversity conference.
the students learn about the diversity of living things and visit their farm (with real animals!) and greenhouse, they talk about the "masks" people wear to fit into certain cliques and bullying. their bullying component requires the students to create a 6-frame storyboard. the students work with students from another school, in groups of 3-4 and take turns creating scenes to map out their storylines.after, the students go into their computer lab, download the pictures and they each get a color copy to take back to their schools.
using digital cameras is a great way for them to explore and become more self-aware about such a sensitive topic. the students always enjoy this part the best.this can also be performed in the classroom.
