Points of View is a project that enables students to utilize digital storytelling to document situational reenactments of issues that have made a significant impact on their lives. The viewer will relive these moments through the eyes of the story tellers, children, who will use digital cameras to capture either still or moving images. These stories are an on-going effort to promote digital citizenship and social action for students living in an urban school district.
Freedom Poems: Students are encouraged to reflect on America's symbols of freedom. They have become aware that freedom is a costly privilege that we all enjoy. Freedom isn't free!

We Stand Free...We Stand Proud
by Taheem Williams

We stand free...we stand proud because we can!
It's America!
Freedom is a like a breeze
A breeze that will touch your soul.
It gives us the opportunity to start over.
You will have everlasting hope.
You can reach for the stars
because you're free.
Just remember, we stand free...we stand proud!

Freedom's Light
by Michelle DePena

Feedom is love, freedom is faith.
It cannot be taken away.
It's like a gentle wind
Whispering that it loves you...
or the dazzling stars
of the night sky.
Make a wish on its star.
It will come true for you.
It will shine brightly for every good soul.

Freedom
by Gabrielle Batista

Memorable

Freedom
by Sandra Navarro

Freedom is like a spirit deep inside my soul.
Respect freedom like freedom respects you.
With freedom, you can do it all.

Our symbol of liberty is...strong and free is she!
Extending her torch, she welcomes everyone
To the land of the free and...home of the brave.

So, remember to respect and care for our freedom
or be enslaved by fear.

Freedom
by Nyree Glover

Freedom of opportunity
Religion,
Equality. It is
Effective for people who are
Discriminated against,
Oppressed, and
Most importantly enslaved.

Freedom is Fair
by Michael Rodriguez

Freedom is fair.
We should respect freed.
We should always love freedom.
Freedom is like a bird flying in the sky.

Lady Liberty shows a sign of freedom.
Freedom should be allowed everywhere.
Freedom makes your wishes come true.
We all desire freedom because freedom is fair.

Freedom
by Leyla Rosado

Freedom is as beautiful as a flower that glows in the sun.
Freedom is like a powerful eagle opening its wings.
Freedom is lovely and sweet like a cupcake.
It's like a wish come true.
It's gentle.
It can never, ever be broken because it is so powerful.
