This past Monday, I took my students to the International Film Festival at Tower city in Cleveland. Every year, this proves to be such a valuable learning experience for the kids. My classes saw the documentary called "Jump!" The movie website (http://www.jumpmovie.com/) says, "JUMP! is a feature-length character-driven documentary about competitive jump rope that follows kids on five teams from around the country who push physical and psychological limits in pursuit of winning the World Championship."
Everytime I take my classes to the film festival, the organizers of the film fest have members of the cast and crew from the film there. Pictured above are members of my Excel TECC junior and senior class as well as the director of "Jump!", Helen Hood Scheer.
Below, Alex from my junior class, shows off his incredible leaping ability as he jumped rope with two crew members of the documentary.
Below, the guys from class pose with two of the stars from the movie.
