Extensions: Student's have no restrictions in expanding learning BUT no extra time will be given to complete the project. Independent Practice: Computer skill development will be obtained by independent practice throughout the development of the digital movie. Resources will be provided to students in the gathering of information and career exploration and performed the tasks independently. Closure: Students are invited to ask questions to clarify key points. Major points of the learning and objectives are reiterated. Association to the usefulness and benefit of the project is to their future benefit.
