Thank you! My kids are currently mystified by great characters like --young OLAUDAH EQUIANO and the story of his kidnapping and autobiography... http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part1/1p276.html
The real-life stories of these characters make amazing kid documentaries! This year students kept the same amount of narration, but they put less text on each frame so the Ken Burns-esque zooms and pans are readily apparent. They are really proud of their work!
