2008-09 Project Descriptions
Cross Bridge Scholars' Campaign Public Service Announcements (PSAs): The scholars, in preparation for the upcoming election of November 2008, worked together to create, write, shoot, direct, and edit short videos discussing the two major candidates' positions on various issues. The scholars, regardless of political preference, worked together to create advertisements for candidates McCain and Obama. These PSAs were then shown to the EA students, in homeroom, on Election Day, and were also shown to the students in the Honickman Learning Center's Comcast Technology Labs' Teen Program.
Cross Bridge Scholars' Political Spoof Shows: The scholars, following President Obama's election, decided to focus on the issues that the President-elect would face in his first hundred days in office. Rather than present these in a rigid news-format, the Scholars decided to utilize humor and created satirical videos focusing on the issues looming over the new administration.
The Cross Bridge Mission Statement:
The Cross Bridge Scholars Program is an academically rigorous enrichment program committed to building an extended community in Philadelphia through a uniquecollaborative program between the Honickman Learning Center Comcast Technology Labs and Episcopal Academy. Encouraging a cooperative learning experience between students from both institutions, the Cross Bridge Scholars will design multi-media projects and an on-line magazine that combines the strengths of the students and institutions. The students will use their projects to promote open discussions about these difficult issues within their respective communities.
