About "Rock That Movie"
The Rock that Movie video competition was started in 2014 by Chinese teachers Bing Qiu of Bronx High School of Science and Xuan Wang, then of Suffern Schools, now of Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C. They were looking for ways to inspire their students and themselves. The competition was developed with a view towards developing a community of Chinese teachers and learners, promoting teaching of language for meaning and communication, as well as promoting project-based learning. The first year, only a few schools participated. In the 2018 competition, more than 10 schools and 150 students submitted more than 30 videos. Participants included students from elementary school through high school.
