Aligned to Common Core State Standards: W.7.4

Standards

Great end products shown but it would be very helpful to have a lesson plan included in the resource so that the steps of how the teacher taught this assignment could be replicated.

This is a great idea tat allows students to collect information about their parents, record, and create a movie. It would helpful for teachers to have detailed lesson plans on the process.
