The Melt-o-Media Company
The Melt-o-Media Production Company will create projects not only associated with class, but are designed to appeal to a wider-based audience. The point is; this is something that adults, other than the kids parents, would enjoy.
The idea is to use a variety of media sources, multi-cultural, even multi-lingual, to create interesting and thoughtful productions that are also entertaining.
An example of this is from the “Communications Academy” at Sir Francis Drake High School in Marin County, California. Click on the following web link and then on “projects” to see examples of what we have in mind at A3.

Also see a video example of a Drake High School project on political ads – this curriculum would connect to our Humanities II classes
