Mme. Harifi recently completed a green screening project with her 6th grade history classes. The context for this activity was a unit studying Judaism, in which students were asked to present a three-minute retelling of a story from the Old Testament.

Students recorded their scenes in front of a green screen. When they were finished, they used an iPad app, Green Screen by Do Ink, to replace the green backgrounds with images and videos that they selected in order to provide an appropriate setting for their stories. At the competition of the project, students held an in-class screening of their final videos.
