[|My Google Site]  ====1. What impresses you most in the movie?- You had a wide variety of pictures and all of them related to one another nicely. You also did a good job on timing. There was plenty of time to look at each picture.==== ====2. What do you suggest to make the movie more appealing?- While your song was appropriate to your theme, it would be even better if there was music playing the entire time.==== -Ainsley Kuhn

Peer review for Movie Maker by Marisa Ladikos
1. What impresses you most in the movie? I really liked all the pictures in this movie. It served as a great visual and they were colorful and interesting. You did a great job making your movie!

2. What do you suggest to make the movie more appealing?
I suggest having a song play throughout the entire movie instead of for just a specific amount of time. Also, some of the text on pictures was white and hard to see. I suggest using a different color that would stand out against the picture.

Verity, great job! --Yanyan

**Content-** Your content was very appropriate for 2nd graders. The informational slides were well worded and your instructions were easy to follow. ‍**Visuals-** I absolutely loved your visuals! I loved that many of the pictures were animated, and I think that children would really like that as well. I also like that you had pictures to go with the various stages to help children visualize what they were learning about. The sounds were a great touch. ‍‍**Format-** Your PowerPoint was saved correctly. However, when I was on the question slides, after clicking an answer, the show took me on to the next question, rather than to a correct/incorrect slide. Other than that minor hyperlinking issue, I felt that you did a great job on this assignment. I can tell you put a lot of work into it! -Ainsley Kuhn

==== **Format-** I agree with Ainsley that your powerpoint was saved correctly. I would have liked to see an incorrect/correct page but other than that you did a great job! - Marisa Ladikos ==== EVALUATION: mathwire.com/money/money.html

This website helped with a money lesson I would use in a classroom. It gives great ideas and lists of books to be used during differetn lessons. This site also gives suggestions for morning meeting activities and ways to incorporate coins into the morning. The website gives great game ideas and includes great instructional directions on how to play the game.
