Paper Clips


I thought this movie was really good in many ways. I thought it was good that it was made by students and shown to students. I think this is good because they can relate to each other better than other options.

Although I am not sure there is ever a time to discuss this event because it is so intense, I think that kids at that age will be impacted more and it will effect them more in the future. Kids at that age are innocent and oblivious so I think it was okay to have them experience that information at that age even though the content may not be completely age appropriate.

I do not think that kids can be assessed on the impact of something like this. I think the knowledge can be assessed in tests or something but to see a change in the way they think, which i believe was one of their goals in this project cannot be proven.

I think that the kids giving the tours for other schools is a positive! It makes them responsible for knowing the information and also gives them a feeling of individual contribution.
