Ronen's Mixed-up Narrative Structure
Written and edited by Ronen (5th grade), this video is an example in the Narrative Structure Unit (2). To make this video, Ronen used the script-writing techniques from the Pre-Production Unit (5) and the video production techniques taught in the Post-Production Unit (7) .
Ronen is the son of OH founder, Dana. He is the inspiration for OH, Jr., because he asked for instruction in video production. Ronen has a love of history and an interest in production.

HOW TO: Make a History Documentary
This first-of-its-kind, seven-part course takes an interdisciplinary and vocational approach. The student starts with "what is a history documentary?" and continues through ideation, research, scriptwriting, and instruction in video editing.
OH, Jr. History Documentary Curriculum was created by video professionals, educators, and with the input of students. It is a brand new way to teach history and research writing alongside practical instruction in videography.
OH, Jr. is currently being piloted in a Chicago school. Going forward, it will initially be limited to select partners who are interested in helping us Beta Test the curriculum. If you are interested in being part of the testing phase, please use the CONTACT form to connect with us.
