A necessidade: Qual é o problema que você está tentando resolver?
Schools around the country are working this year to align their curricula to the Common Core Learning Standards. In particular they for an emphasis on the reading of informational texts. And it is particularly challenging to find highly engaging, student-created informational texts that truly examine the perspectives and concerns of young people.
A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja específico!
The Reel Lives Curriculum helps teachers develop a transformative learning environment in their classrooms, where students emerge from the six week experience with a stronger sense of self and self agency, demonstrated ability to use empathetic language in conversation and a clear understanding of the way they can advocate for themselves through new media. Paring non-fiction texts with youth-created documentaries provides educators with a highly engaging, student-centered access point that is also aligned with the new Common Core standards.
O Modelo: Demonstre através de um exemplo específico como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas atividades primárias
When class begins students will be presented with a student film from the Reel Lives library. The class will engage in guided discussion questions which focus on inferencing skills relating the video to an activating schema (text to self, text to world, text to text). The Reel Lives targets the development of empathy by applying inferencing skills and activating schema. Students will be asked to explicitly relate their experiences and their impressions of the world around them with those of the filmmaker. Subsequently, direct instruction will deliver content on the human rights issue typified by the film while scaffolding argumentation/essay writing skills. Students will construct arguments about human rights violations that they see in the world around them by siting specific textual evidence using mobile apps, web-based materials, sample texts (literary non-fiction) and mind mapping apps such as Popplet. The Reel Lives curriculum makes a difference because it takes a student-centered approach to examining literary non-fiction and human rights. By narrowing the distance between the students and subject matter we facilitate connections while scaffolding those connections through interpretive practices and media literacy.

No one in the NYC Department of Education is tackling the new Common Core Nonfiction ELA requirements using youth-created films as the basis for the six week lesson. TED is trying to bring TED talk to the classroom. However, the content is not student-centered nor is it a part of a comprehensive curriculum. In addition, organizations like Reel Works and Educational Video Center who produce student made films are not engaging these films potential to engage young people in Common Core based ELA tasks. At this point there is nothing like the Reel Lives curriculum available.

IMPACTO SOCIAL
Temas relacionados à inscrição
Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?
We have screened our first 25 films at over 20 community screenings to hundreds of viewers across NYC, and to over 17,000 viewers through our social networks online. Our youth-produced films reach other young people in a way that typical non-fiction texts do not. We have workshopped our current curricula at two partner high schools to over 1000 students with huge success. This success prompted us to think bigger! Because the topics of our films are current and diverse it is an amazing opportunity to present the often difficult six-week nonfiction section in a fresh, new and impactful way.
Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?
Since our curriculum is aligned with the national Common Core Standards and available online it can easily be used by any Department(s) of Education across the US and beyond. Our goal is to begin with partner schools within the NYC DOE and grow rapidly beyond that. The documentaries move past the informative and become the driving force behind educating students on social issues, cultural understanding, and progressive thinking.

História: Queremos saber mais sobre o momento de descoberta desta solução. Conte-nos a história sobre onde e quando o(s) fundador(res) vislumbrou(aram) o potencial desta solução para mudar o mundo. [125 palavras]
After attending a Reel Lives film premier at The Paley Center for Media I was struck by the power of the films. I found myself laughing, crying and communicating with strangers about my experience watching these films. I remember speaking with one of the Reel Lives students, Nabila, and asking her what she intended to do with her film now that she had finally completed it. To which she shrugged and said, "I don't know, I hope to take it to some festivals, but I really don't know." It was then that I realized the profound impact that these films could have on other students and how perfectly they could fit into the context of the 9th grade ELA unit on Literary Non-Fiction. What better way to engage the perspective of young people than through the perspectives of young people.

In order to develop the online version of the curriculum we have we need funding. After it is developed it will sustain itself through revenue. In addition, marketing strategists would help Reel Lives to reach the largest audience.
