Introduction:
The plan part of the project is the second step in the technology design cycle. During this part of the project, we put our pictures into our movie. We also made titles for our movie to sort out the different topics in the movie. After we did all of this we started creating the rest of the iMovie by adding different music and effects.

**ESLRs:**
For this part of the project, I think that I am a critical thinker because I had to think before answering the questions for the reflection. Some of the questions were easy and some of them were hard. I think that I am also an effective communicator because when I needed help with a part of this project, I talked to the person sitting next to me and she helped me.

**Files:**
Look at my storyboard!

**Reflection:**
How does this movie represent the things that make you happy? This movie represents the things that make me happy because in this movie I had to include pictures, which show what makes me happy, and titles of things that make me happy. For example, I included pictures of ice cream, pizza, chocolate, and strawberries because they are some of my favorite foods. I have some pictures of some of my favorite books like Inkheart and Inkspell. I also included some pictures of friends like a cat and a duck being friends and also some of my friends. All of these pictures and titles make me happy.

Why did you choose to put these pictures in this order? I chose to put the pictures in this order (which would be books, friends, food, and then things to do on a vacation) because I just chose to put these pictures randomly but also because I put what I liked most first and then what I liked after those pictures. For example, I put the picture of a chocolate chip cookies first followed by a piece of chocolate cake because I like chocolate chip cookies better than chocolate cake.

How did you group your pictures? Why did you decide to group them this way? I grouped my pictures into different sections. For example, I grouped all of my pictures which include books into a section after the title: I love reading! I then put all the pictures which included food under the title: I have lots of favorite foods. I decided to group them this way because then it would make it easier to understand and it wouldn’t be so confusing.

How do the effects that you added help enhance your movie? The effects that I added to my movie help make it more interesting because with all of the different effects, people will be able to look at something different every time and not always look at the same thing over and over again because that would make it boring. The effects that I put on my movie will be different on every slide or clip.

Did you enjoy this part of the project? Why or why not? Yes I enjoyed this part of the project because we got to look for pictures that make us happy and then put them onto a storyboard for your movie. When we chose our pictures, we had to choose pictures that showed what makes us happy. When we finished with the storyboard we were allowed to start making our movie with the pictures and information on the storyboard.

What challenges will you face when you try to create your movie and how will you overcome them? I think that when I make my movie I will have some challenges like I might not be able to find something on iMovie to help make it more interesting or maybe I want something (like a picture) to go in the movie and it won’t insert then I would have to face those challenges. To overcome the challenges that I would have to face, first I would try to see if I can do anything solve the problem and if that didn’t work then I would ask the person next to me if they know what to do and if they didn’t know what to do then I would ask the teacher to help me.
