    Project 3

    The following poem is my "script". I planned on filming my class reciting this poem using a green screen (something I know I'll need help with) and having the students create background illustrations to match the text.

    The Reader’s Oath

    I promise to read

    Each day and each night.

    I know it's the key

    To growing up right.

    I'll read to myself,

    I'll read to a crowd.

    It makes no difference

    If silent or loud.

    I'll read at my desk,

    At home and at school,

    On my bean bag or bed,

    By the fire or pool.

    Each book that I read

    Puts smarts in my head,

    'Cause brains grow more thoughts

    The more they are fed.

    So I take this oath

    To make reading my way

    Of feeding my brain

    What it needs every day.

    I love the script and look forward to seeing the pictures the kids draw to go with it. Unfortunately I won't be much help with green screen, as I've never been that brave:)
