Summer
Program Brings Over 80 Students
to ASU!
During the summer of 2007, eighty-four
7th-12th grade migrant students from eight
Arizona school districts participated in
the Conexiones Migrant Youth Summer
Program.The program was implemented
over a two-week period, one week each at
the ASU West and ASU Polytechnic campuses.
The summer program included:
1) professional development to teach program
staff media production skills and introduce
the curriculum; 2) small group instruction
for students on media literacy, interviewing,
storyboarding, principles of photography
and video production; 3) student produced
media projects; 4) project presentations;
and 5) a media presentation for parents
and families.
Students created individual
photographic essays exploring their identity
and joined groups to create videos based
on the themes: "We Are..." and "We Believe..."
The projects allowed students
to improve traditional literacy skills
through researching, writing and presenting.
The students also gained digital literacy
skills in the areas of video and photography.
