Brainstorming
Here is a list of 10 subjects within my focus of a CV 9 academy documentary that I could cover during its duration. As of now, I'm leaning towards only doing a documentary on CV 9 rather than a small documentary on CV 9 with other smaller documentaries on different courses in our school.
1. Reason for CV 9's emergence
2. The main differences between CV 9 and the high school
3. CV 9 students' opinions on the change
4. Parents and 10-12th graders' opinions on the change
5. Difficulties for students with the new academy
6. Advantages for students with the new academy
7. How well CV 9 students can feel included with students from upper grades (like clubs or school pride)
8. What will it look like for CV 9 students to enter the high school
9. How teachers feel about it (both ones that moved to CV 9 and those that didn't)
10. Overall, is the change good? This would use miscellaneous information that hasn't been covered yet in tandem with previously mentioned topics.
Important Topics
1. CV 9 students' opinions on the academy: This is one of the most important subjects to cover for my documentary. What could be more important to cover than the body of people that the school is meant for. Above all else, the factor of how the 9th grade students are responding to the change is the most necessary to know about. If the people who the school is literally made for is not liked by said people, then that could have a whole documentary about it. Also, it'd be easy to find interviews from any of the hundreds of 9th graders.
2. How well CV 9 students can feel included with students from upper grades (like clubs or school pride): Another very important thing to talk about is the obvious notion of how the 9th grade class is now literally and figuratively separated from the upper grades. Do they like this? How does this affect their social learning? Do 9th graders feel more isolated? What is the process for students to get involved with clubs and such if they are 15 minutes away in a different school? There is so much that can be talked about with this topic.
3. 9. How teachers feel about it (both ones that moved to CV 9 and those that didn't): This subject is a personal favorite of mine, as I think this is an angle many don't give a lot of consideration to. It's weird to think about that around a fourth of the teachers would have had to leave the high school to teach the 9th graders. Do they, too, feel isolated? Does it affect them at all? How were teachers chosen to move to the 9th Grade Academy? How do teachers that weren't moved feel? I think this topic will add insight and a fresh new perspective on the CV 9 documentary that wasn't previously thought of.
