Classroom Considerations

• While the video is not provided, a discussion using the questions provided will still be possible; the actual project will prove more difficult for students without a sample

Pros

• Comes with a rubric, vocabulary, discussion questions, and more

Cons

• The instructions for the project are somewhat vague
• Part of the art piece that inspires this project is a video that is not available through this resource. Although a link is provided, it doesn't work
