Gilbert High School class creates documentaries Throughout April and May, students in Mr. Hackbarth’s Honors English 9 classes at Gilbert High School created documentaries that encouraged them to shed light on the “unheard voices” of the school and surrounding community.

The project was inspired by a unit on Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, in which Atticus Finch famously states “You never really under-

stand a person until you consider things from his point of view (…) until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”

In order to help demonstrate the meaning of Atticus’ words, students selected local groups to interview that are often out of the spotlight and then had to work together in small teams to figure out how to best raise awareness about their

chosen topics through short documentaries.

In total, 12 documentary fi lms were created on subjects including special education teachers, school custodians and secretaries, students in preschool and the extended learning program (ELP) at Gilbert, offi cers at the Story County Sheriff’s Department, and several other topics.

Students presented their documentaries

at a public showcase event at Gilbert High School on May 15 to an enthusiastic crowd of parents, school staff members, and

other community members.

The assignment is an example of projectbased learning, which challenges students

to work on a complex, real-world issue for an extended period of time before ultimately presenting their work to a public audience.
