CREATE A DOCUMENTARY 

Students could select an issue in their school or community and create a documentary about that issue, for example, the lack of nutritious, low-fat cafeteria food.  They could then determine the different perspectives or attitudes regarding this issue in their school or community, focusing on defining the problems associated with the issue, reasons for the problem, and possible solutions to the problem.   They could then conduct video interviews with different people expressing their views on the issue.  And, they could shoot footage of material related to the topic, using shots of a narrator or a voice-over narrator to frame the issue.  They could then edit their material to clearly frame the problem, reasons for the problem, alternative perspectives on the problem, and alternative solutions to the problem.

As an alternative, students could create a mocumentary, parodying a documentary or news broadcast.
