Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The workshop is designed to serve the 120, 8th grade students at LMAP. The three week media production workshop is followed with a film festival where students will present their films. In the previous screenwriting workshop (Spring 2016) - all 120 students were involved at some level of making a film. There were 42 short films produced - including four films made in class. From the survey given to students 95% of the response were positive. We ope to achieve similar outcomes during this session. We would like encourage more families to come to he viewing (held during the day). Maybe have a show in the evening. The Screenwriting and Media Production Workshop curriculum will be evaluated by students, educators and will be reviewed by the Advisory Board. During the workshop, pre and post-workshop surveys will be distributed to students to collect feedback from the workshop. Artistic and academic outcomes will be evaluated on finished projects, quality and production value of the project. The students will also show their finished projects to an audience, receiving valuable feedback from their peers and the general audience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

One of the significant outcomes from the workshop is to bring the class through the process of telling a story - putting it on film (video) and showing it to a public audience. To watch their faces! Then there are the 3-5 kids that I will hear during class - "this is what I want to do" ... then I run into them at the grocery store and then are working on film projects in high school!
