On June 5, 2011 I ran a workshop at ShortieCon as part of my work with Wide Angle Youth Media. I facilitated a lesson called A Documentary in a Day where students created a documentary in the classroom about something they had expertise or strong opinions on. The lesson requires students to brainstorm a topic, write a script and film a video that will require no editing. Youth Power! is the result. It is about how young people have the power to change the world, why they need to act on this power and examples of how they might do so and it was made in an hour!
