Clarification of the School Week assignment... and a bit more

If two of you do the interview to the group 7th grade scientists, the rest will have to cover School Week (that is, unless you propose something else). This means that no matter what, there will be at least 3 reports on School Week. You need to let the rest know what you'll be doing and with whom. It might not be a bad idea if you all got together and agreed on the assignments you'll take. Because you're 7, somebody will have to work on their own, unless one of you decides to participate in two School Week reports.
Also, I think it would be really nice for you to take LOTS of pics. Remember, you may take as many as you want of the class of 2007. BUT you should also make sure you take enough pics of everyone from the other classes. Remember the school blog will get more hits if people want to get in it to find themselves in it! You could post them in different ways. On the reports, there will be pics that are relevant. We could have another label/section of School Week only. I also saw in other blogs a service that allows you have a slideshow uploaded with the pics you may want to post. If any of you has a cam-corder (filmadora) or can borrow one, you could shoot different scenes, make a pot-purri of scenes or several short ones and upload them to the blog through YouTube. As you can see, the possibilities are endless. I wish you all would take this as a fun assignment and play around with the idea. What you end up posting on the blog will become a nice souvenir, yet another one, of your experience in your last year at school. Every year, students in the graduating class feel the need to leave a mark at the school, so that they're remembered. This could be another way of leaving yours! It's a kind of community service as well (just in case any of you needs more hours for the IB, I can talk to Ms. Alejandra Yanotti about it). And wouldn't it be a cool to have several testimonials, reflections, interviews, short scenes, different kind of moments, documented through the blog?
I hope you like this assignment. Let me know what you think!
