What would the purpose of their videos be (to tell a story, to create a PSA about some important topic, etc.)? 
Make a PSA of issues in the school that they experience or have seen. 

2. What are possible topics that could be used for the project? (While giving students freedom to create what they want is a key part of developing agency in critical literacy, giving direction can sometimes prevent students from being "paralyzed by choice"). Try to choose a general theme that taps into the ideas behind critical literacy.
Bullying, Discrimination, and Politics

by the end of this project students will know how to defend their beliefs, they will also know how to help peers in similar situations.

4. What language goals would fit the project? (propose at least 2 language objectives that focus on function and form--use students will do x(function) with y (form)--for this activity we will not focus on specialized vocabulary). 
4-5.1 Level 4: use of increasing range of strategies to: 
-determine the main idea or theme, and 
-explain how some key details support the main idea or theme
-summarize part of a text

5. How long should the video be when it is finished?
5-10 mins

6. Where could the finished products be shown that would make the students feel like their work has a true purpose?
during class or to other classes

7. How do you think your video project will help ELL's think critically about social issues while also practicing literacy and language skills?
Viewing a video helps them visually, and audibly view the topic. Editing and creating a script will help the students with language skills
