When I saw the title, I thought, uh-oh, too broad a topic. But I liked how there was very concrete information that takes a complex situation and makes it understandable. Are you going to use the actors to speak the lines, or will there be a narrator, with actors providing the visuals? Interesting project.

Very Nice... I love the action shots! Can't wait to see the final project. A suggestion you could maybe give your students when editing is to do a cross-dissolve after Shot 2 (showing the Roman Empire first then blurred to what it is today)... then go to Shot 3? Just an idea...

Wow! What an ambitious project! A lot of information, but very concise. I wonder what it would look like if the students acted out Shot 8, since they did such a great jobs illustrating their other two "reasons". This will be a really fun video to watch.

Looking forward to the final project. I've been nervous to take my students to a social studies topic, but I like how your students have been able to teach about the fall of Rome in such a compact way. Maybe doing social studies could work.
