Have you ever made a movie? I have. Let me tell you…it’s tough work! There’s so much steps to making it! Especially when you make it in Windows Movie Maker! A group of friends and I made a movie for a social studies project we had to do. Our project was on Article 1, sections 1 and 2 of the Constitution. Section 1 of Article 1, tells you that the Congress is split up into two sections, the Senate and the House of Represenatives. Section two tells you all about the rules and requirements for someone who wants to run for a represenative. We’ll first of all, you have to count every single person in your state(census). There is one represenative for every 30,000 people in a state. Everyone in that state, is also aloud to vote for their represenative(s), as long as they’re 18 years or older. So when you decide to run, you have to make sure you fit all of the standards! You have to be at least 25 years old, you have to know about the state you want to represent, and you have to be a citizen of the United States for at least 7 years.

That was what our whole video was about, we made a “movie” sequence in it where we did little interviews. I am sorry that I can not show my video right now, but I will try and get it up here as soon I can!
