Civil Rights RAP

My friend and I wrote a rap song about discrimination and treating people right. We sang it into the computer and then I edited it in Audacity and put in a beat and stuff in the background. And burned CDs.

MLK Day Video

This was my digital storytelling project. For the assembly for Martin Luther King Day I found pictures online of the Civil Rights Movement and used PhotoStory to make a slideshow that had We Shall Overcome playing as background music. It had part of the I Have A Dream speech too. I had to learn how to zoom in on the photos and panning and how to change the volume on the audio, and then it needed to be put on a regular VHS tape so we could play it at the assembly.

Speak Out Website

I made a website where people can write about discrimination and find ways to stop the hate. It has links to other websites too.
