Student collaboration and participation

I think that the students should record an episode of an amazing adventure each week. I mean, sure, I'm not letting my minions colleagues out of their promise to make idiots of themselves on video with me and record our own series... but I think the students should do it. One group each week gets a free pass on the activities for that location, and instead they have to research that location, write a script, film themselves and edit a short clip to add to our show.

Awesome, huh? Then we could have a disc burned of them all at the end for students who wanted them. I'd suggest we show them in assembly, but I think that would not be motivational.
