Help Mr. M.

I teach at a Title I school in California. We are a small charter school that tries very hard to have our students doing as many hands-on projects as possible.

Every year for the past three years we have put on a big production with my Junior American History classes. Each class writes and performs a history of the 20th Century decade by decade. However, they never get a chance to see themselves perform, nor can I show future groups what has been done previously.

I need a video camera to record these students hard work and creativity. By showing them their production I will not only validate their effort, but will be able to use the performance itself as a study guide for final exams.

You assistance will put the cherry on top of the more than month-long project we have already begun.
