My movie maker file is designed to use at the beginning of my American literature unit on the Puritans. It serves as both an introduction to the Salem Witch Trials and as an example for my students. As a part of the unit, I require my students to create a video in Movie Maker about one of the people involved in the trials. We watch my video first, so they can get general information. They use some of the techniques that I used in my video to get started with their project.
I have used Movie Maker several times before, and as with most programs, it gets easier over time. I do still find some things about it quite tricky. It is difficult for me to get the timing right when I add in transitions between my images. When sound clips, song clips, and narration are also included, it almost confuses me beyond belief. I am getting better with it, and this project was must easier to complete than the last video I tried to make. I'm sure with time that I will get better and faster at creating videos to use in my classroom.

Hey--I thought I posted a comment last week--did you get it?? Great movie--you definitely know your way around the program. Where did you get all the sound effects? Might I add they were perfect for your theme!! How did you get the words to scroll along the page? If your movie does not get the studetns interested--I do not know what will!
