Book Club and Cable TV

The kids are doing cool stuff with their book club, and it goes beyond just books. They created a video trailer for one of the books they’re reading, complete with scripting, filming, acting and editing. Then AM arranged for them to go to the local cable TV station and work out the final edits for their trailer, and I think they’ll then broadcast it on public access TV. How cool is that? N got to sit in and watch the whole process, though at some point I think he got bored.

Best of all, the experience opened up all sorts of imaginative ideas for programs they’d like to create and produce. They were so excited. The guy running the program knows that the kids are homeschooled, so it was interesting when he talked about TV shows and commented that he figured they probably didn’t watch a lot of TV. He knows us so well.

When they got home, A&N brainstormed about ideas for TV shows, and they even started to outline their ideas. Not sure how long this fire will burn, but for now, it’s a lot of fun. Thanks to AM for all her hard work.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Sílvio Gabriel Spannenberg for the pic.
