= The Fantastic First Graders Show =

Akin to how I worked with Miss Semple's students during the winter and early spring months on the Savvy Scholars Second Graders Show, I did similar work with Mrs. Anstotz's students. What is different for Mrs. Anstotz's students is the type of medium we used; instead of a radio show, we did a television show.

The work began in late February when 6 of Mrs. Anstotz's students began interviewing one another. After they gathered all the data on their person, they typed up a report about the person. I taught them to use as many transition words as possible, in addition to introducing and summarizing the person they interviewed. The writing piece was finished in mid-May, and by the next week it was filmed using a FlipVideo camera.

The structure starts with a theme song ("Friends" sung by Barney), complete with credits introducing the cast. Then, the show begins with me as the host. I simply introduce the lineup (injected with some humor, of course) then turn the show over to them. The structure goes that the interviewer introduces herself and her subject. Then the camera shifts over to the subject, while the interviewer talks in the background. When the interviewer is done, the camera goes back and she introduces the next interviewer. At the end, there are closing credits, with music provided by //Sesame Street//.
