Do you know Tunisia?
How is your knowledge of Northern Africa? Can you find Tunisia on a map? What is a Dinar? Those questions and many more can be answered after watching a video Karl and his schoolmate, Austin Cruz, put together for their language arts class. Watch it here.
The boys were the first in the whole IB (International Baccalaureate class to complete the project, one time, and within guidelines (no more than 3 minutes). Karl did most of the research and picture selection, including a short video clip of Tunisian musicians playing traditional Malouf music. Austin did the typing and compiling of the various slides, as well as all the transitions. Their teacher was so impressed, she had the entire class watch it, then placed the movie on the Brookside Middle School web site!
The boys are very proud of their work (could one of them be a budding Hollywood Director??).
Enjoy!
