Every year when summer rolls around, I get annoyed at my children for reading constantly. That blasted Summer Reading Program at the Public Library motivates everyone to want to read, and they do it too well.

I’m only being a little bit serious. Reading is a good thing, but sometimes I just want to make them go outside and run around. It is summer, after all.

Last year, a group of homeschooled students gathered together weekly for a class on how to put together a video. A great guy who worked at the library taught the students by doing. He guided them while put together a video to promote the Summer Reading Program. They divided into guys and girls, and then each group came up with a story line, wrote the dialog, figured out what and where to film, filmed, edited, and put together music for their videos. They had a blast and learned a lot.

Have a look at their videos. (My son happens to be a character in one of the videos.)
