Homework #47, Brainstorming For Class Film

Ideas (in no specific order):
**It could just be something written on the board, and the writing keeps changing. Like the video for Bad Day (closer to the end of the video, starting at 2:24ish). Somehow making it look like time has gone by. An example couple be a blank board, except for in the middle someone could have written "school is_____" and the word in the blank could keep changing.
*A paper ball fight set in Andy's classroom. This is a good example of chaos. Except for instead of just being paper balls they should be opened at some point to reveal surveys. Like.. do you like school? what is your favorite class?
* It should be like the walk around advisory last semester, where the class is walking around the city and the teacher is trying to get the class' attention, by stopping in random buildings and parks and teaching the class.
*An empty classroom with only Andy in it. The film should show only Andy, talking, and then the camera should zoom out and show that no one is sitting in any of the seats. And there should be that corny cricket noise in the background when the film shows that Andy is really talking to himself.
*Andy at the front of the room with all the survey questions on the board. "Raise your hand if you like waking up and going to school every morning?" etc. (we already did this once).
* A game of telephone that is school related as well as being school appropriate.
* Something set in the hallway. Students sitting and the teacher walking around being annoying and trying to get the classes' attention.
* A film comparing a classroom that does by textbooks (kind of like Ms Vasco's class when she was mad) compared to Andy's class where the students get to participate more.
* The mood of the film could be really calm and peaceful, so the kids would have to be busy writing or taking a survey or something.
*Somehow get the mood across as all the kids being antsy, and hardly being able to sit still (eager for class to be over before lunchtime as an example).
