The Extra Degree

Our biggest project in my Intro to classroom relationships class has been assigned and is due in less than two weeks.

We are tasked with making a motivational video, about a songs length, for our desired teaching age group. I have been paired with 4 other individuals who are also seeking an Elementary Education Certification and have divided the work as follows.

I will be assembling the video and posting it to YouTube (as per the assignment instructions)
One other girl will pick a song that we find appropriate and "moving".
Three others will be dividing the task of assembling photographs to show as a montage during our video.

Sounds simple enough, however this will be a huge undertaking for me, because while I work very well with others, I tend to completely disagree with the quality of work most people put forward. I'm a bit nervous about how I'm going to complete the video without changing the song and pictures to better suit MY liking. This will be a good lesson because I'm obviously not going to be able to grade and commend on a scale according to how similar to MY idea a student got.  I can do this. I think I can, I think I can...


Here is one of the videos the teacher showed as an example that I actually like a lot. I don't really think we'll be able to do something similar because our viewer age will be about 8, but you'll get the idea.
