students per group need to be involved in each scene.
1. Become experts on your scene, develop a plan, and teach the class through a short 30-90 second movie.
(Need evidence of having been involved in: editing, acting, writing the lines, voice over, etc.) Feel free to get parents, siblings and friends involved. Scenes need to be PG, possible loss of points might result in a lower grade if school rules are not followed. Use common sense. THINK: 
For Example: Native American depictions, use of tobacco, use of real guns, etc.. This project might be shared, and will hopefully live on the class website/ fridge forever, either as good examples or bad examples. 
Feel free to overlap with classmates if it makes your scene better (help the scene in front of you or behind you if they need it).
Project Points
-Submitting the final edited individual scene = 10 points.
-Accurate use of Vocabulary, Engagement & Content
Was there effort? Did you explain your scene in a creative manner enough to convey your ultimate message? = 40 points
