Lewis and Clark Explore the Great Unknown

I'm doing my digital story on Lewis and Clark, a unit that is coming up shortly in our school.  I've got a lot of work to do, including narration, adding pictures, and possibly adding music, but here's a sneak peek of what it looks like so far...

I plan on showing the finished video as a prelude to all the reading and learning students will be doing.  I think this is especially important because I have a few ELL students and several students who struggle with reading comprehension.  Watching this video prior to reading texts about Lewis and Clark will hopefully give them some much needed background knowledge that will assist in their comprehension.

If you can't see the video above, too bad.  No, seriously.  I uploaded it to YouTube and embedded it below so maybe now everyone can see it (I think lots of people can't see if because they're running apple operating systems...at least that's my hypothesis since it worked on three different computers I tried at home...but now I'm rambling, so now onto the show.)
