The Positive Action behavior program we use at Rock Springs School is called R.O.C.K. It is an acronym for Ready to Learn, Our Safety Matters, Caring and Respectful, and Know and Do Your Best. Our R.O.C.K. behavior standards are an integral part of everything we do and seemed like the perfect project for my class. My students were very excited about sharing with other schools the things we think are important at Rock Springs. One of the challenges I've faced is making sure my shots more diverse. I'm hoping to make a leap from the pictures I took for the storyboard to something more interesting. All part of the process I'm really enjoying being a part of!

What a cute idea and the script/storyboard shows a cute way of getting the point across. I think you've done a nice job of varying your shots as well.

What a great idea. Is this something your whole school uses? Your storyboard and script are upbeat. Love the attitude of R, O, C, and K.

Really well thought out. I like the concept of the interview juxtaposed with the actions. To really emphasize that I would make the action footage sepia or black and white or in some way visually distinct from the interview footage. Nice project.

I like the acronym. Are you planning to do each letter? I would almost want to see kids holding the letters in the acronym, so that I know what they are describing. Perhaps then a shot of the letter "R" and student saying "Ready to learn". I love the positive, we can approach.

Your video will become an excellent way to teach Life Skills. An idea for varying your shots could be doing an initial medium wide shot of the four stars, followed by a medium shot of each individual letter being interviewed and finish with a close up shot to emphasize each skill. I can't wait to see the finished product!

Cute idea to create an acronym for elementary students to be prepared for elementary school. I am sure it will help to firmly establish positive expectations for the students. C.L.E.V.E.R. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the storyboard to open, but the script seems fun! Good luck!
