Phase II

1. Instructional Decisions/Teaching: Describe and justify modifications made
* for individual needs
Due to distraction because of other groups in the room, the students were allowed to leave the room to create their movie in a more conducive environment.
* to maintain alignment to goals and objectives
We modified our lesson by not showing the student produced movies in class due to technical difficulties. Instead we uploaded the videos to our blog so that they could be viewed at a later time. Another modification is that groups did not have to have specific roles within the project. They were able to choose how the movie was produced.

2. Assessment of Learning: Describe the evidence you have that indicates
* your students' level of success in achieving the lessons goals
By looking at the finished movies we as teachers were able to see that they actively participated in the production of the movie as well as learned about the founding fathers.
* the level of success you had in teaching the lesson
During the lesson while walking around it was apparent that the students were actively engaged in the activity. The students were frequently asking questions which showed their desire to successfully complete the project. We enjoyed watching the final products and received feedback from others that expressed their enjoyment of watching them as well.
