Student Checklist for movie maker project Student handout for project Unit Plan for Movie Maker Project Student example

The Black History movie was done in third quarter for African American History. Students were to take what they have learned from first semester and then think about what part of African American History was important that they want to research. They first had to creat an outline for their movie. After I checked their outline they then had to research pictures to go with their outline and save them. Once I checked them off and approved them they then were able to use the Movie Maker program. They were given 2 and a half weeks to work on the project. The time limit can be altered depending on the skill level of the class. Some of them were familar with the program but i still used the projector to show them basics of how to work the program.
