For the last couple of years, the Friends class (grades 6-7-8) has performed a 'Human Video' (drama pantomimed to a musical selection) for the annual MPact (formerly 'Missionettes') talent competition. We used Barlow Girl songs for the first two, this year we're going old school Newsboys.
We use the human video as the project for one of our units of study. The unit we've just finished is 'Personal Evangelism' and we had a fair list of possible songs. One I suggested was 'Going Public', about not being afraid to be a witness. That one got a rather mediocre response, and I mentioned that 'Shine' was on the same CD. Suddenly, the girls wanted to hear 'Shine' and, when the voting was done, 'Shine' was the choice.
I didn't see the connection 'till later, but it's kinda cool that the theme for this year's MPact events is 'Shine Like a Star'.
Now to just figure out some compelling choreography...I think it's going to be abstract. We certainly will not demonstrate barbecuing a hamster. ;)
