I Wanna Be a TAKS Star 2008

Team 8-2 of Kimbrough Middle School worked very hard on their TAKS video the previous year. The video was very inspirational to our 7th graders as they created their TAKS video this year. Many times we would look back at last year's video as a guide for how to go about completing this massive project. Although the songs are very different, we followed the same steps each year as we composed the lyrics, planned the shots, and finally perfected the audio. It took a lot of work, but it is a project we will never forget.

So What? I'm a TAKS Star 2009

The 7th graders at Kimbrough Middle School created an awesome music video to motivate other students to strive for excellence on the 2009 TAKS Test. The results came back a couple of weeks ago, and team 7-3 had approximately 91% passing. Around 37% of the students on team 7-3 achieved commended performance on the reading portion of the test. Way to go Courgars!

Creating this music video was a very difficult task. It took several months to write the lyrics. Once that was done, we created most of the video and still shots based on the words to the song. Then, of course, we had to spend hours rehearsing and practicing the vocals. Overall, this project really helped our students work together as a team to produce a video that we enjoy watching and we are very proud of. Please let us know your thoughts about the video.
