1. My partner teacher and I drove around Graham County and digitally recorded different historical sites such as terraces, electrical towers, grain elevators, historical buildings, oil rigs, various types of barns, and windmills using the digital video camera.

2. We came back to the school and edited the film that we collected using Avid Cinema. We also used a number of special effects while editing the video. One of the special effects that I used was a CD that my partner teacher had.

3. We also included pictures, in Avid Cinema, that my partner teacher's students collected. We put the pictures on the presentation by scanning them.

4. We showed the video to her class by using a Macintosh G3 and a video projector.

5. We tested the class's knowledge by having them take a written test about what was included on the video prepared by myself and my partner teacher.
