Technology Integrator Benjamin Higgins coordinated the projects with Joseph Karb, eighth grade social studies teacher and Michael Rokitka, High School history teacher. Students used school computer equipment to make their documentaries that had to include an analysis of their chosen issue, C-Span programming, more than one point of view, credits for images used and people interviewed, and had to be from five to eight minutes in length.

This year’s topics were "One of our Country's Greatest Strengths" and "A Challenge the Country is Facing." S-GI students chose topics from Funding for the Creative Arts to Capital Punishment: A Challenge Facing America. Teachers and community members were interviewed, and well chosen clips from various sources bolstered the facts in the issues.

Winners will be announced by C-Span sometime in March and $50,000 in cash prizes will be awarded along with an interview on C-Span.
