What educators are saying

I can not say enough good things about this project! We ended up using a green screen and pre-recording each segments and then stitching them all together. The final product is so amazing! My students loved getting into character and making props. Thank you SO much!
This will definitely be one of those activities that my students will remember from this year. Great resource that allowed the students to showcase their inner creative genius.
