//What we are hoping to achieve://
 * //Project Statement//**

//We started with, we changed to meet classroom objectives, as a result we ended with...//
 * //Reflective Summary//**

We began a project with the goal of creating an entirely //student driven project based on both student need and student interest. We reevaluated the project to take into consideration time limits, resources, and student need. The students demonstrated understanding through website creation, media editing/filming and using social media to raise awareness of our cause.//

//**We took some notes about problems and solutions to address while reflecting on the project**// //__**Problems**__// __**//Solutions//**__
 * //Resources//

 * Performance of individual jobs
 * Daily production work
 * Collaboration with peers

//How are you documenting?// >
 * // Website progress //
 * On-going feedback from community
 * Student evaluation sheets


 * Digital Productions saved daily via USB
 * Completed daily assignment task lists

//How do students receive feedback?// > >
 * Students constantly see updated progress on website
 * We respond to student suggestions/critiques
 * On-going teacher scaffolding and feedback throughout project
 * Teacher-student discussion in culminating lesson
 * Daily assignment cards
 * Ongoing review and collaboration of working final product

//Why did you choose this assessment?// >
 * A more formal assessment would not fit project due to time, resources, and project type (demonstration of skill & understanding)
 * The project design and circumstances lent itself to an on-going, informal assessment, rather than a traditional formal assessment.


 * Self-improvement and student constructivism were the main goals for this overall project and thus the assessments reflected the independent nature of these goals.
