This was fun! The children enjoyed putting together class-made costumes, and my "movie crew" were great at setting up, filming, and also breaking down the equipment for an easy clean-up (always a bonus in my book!). The children also took ownership to the dialogue and editing process, altering any awkward dialogue and choosing appropriate sound effects.

Hey, Greta! Fun sound effects. The level of student engagement is so evident. The students really look like they had a great time doing the work (and we know that it really is work!).

I liked the creative non-fancy props (time machine out scarves on a frame, Lincoln's beard out of paper). Shows it doesn't have to be fancy to be fun (and effective). I liked how you summarized at the end and showed the value of each of the secrets. Sound effects were great (although I'd get rid of the monkey). Fun work.
