The project started with a meeting between interested students and Miss Nour to brainstorm and jot down ideas. Students passionately came up with a primary storyline and some possible tricks to create an illusion of proximity!
A script was written based on the suggestions, the parts were divided, and students creatively developed their parts throughout online rehearsals based on their daily experiences. Videos were sent, received, refined, reflected on, until we were satisfied with the results. Tens of moments from students video were compiled and edited into this final product.

The project started with the idea of having some sort of opening or entertainment video that will express the students' ambition facing the real world challenges. Ms. Ola, Ms. Nour, and Ms. Rana met several times to brainstorm ideas. Ideas were translated to the following:
Students responded and created videos based on 4 different tasks during virtual learning classes.
Express yourself by answering the big question: what is your dream?
Practice and sing several parts of the song "Million Dreams".
Create body percussion patterns on specific drum beat.
Play musical instruments for interlude part.
There were endless back and forth videos shared between students and Ms. Rana and compiled with the help of Mr. Fouad into this final product.
Mr. Fouad and Ms. Rana Faraj, Music Teachers.
Students recorded short videos on Flipgrid using specific Flipcode for the introductions and reflections.
Teachers reviewed all the videos and gave individual feedback to every student.
We created a mixtape for every group and added the selected videos.
The mixtapes were finally embedded in our Google site.

This is a mixtape on Flipgrid that was prepared by Haizea and Thalia, our former Wellspring News crew. They put together a series of short videos to give other PYP students tips and tricks on how to record videos of good quality, based on their experience hosting the News. Miss Luna and Miss Rawan worked with the students.
