Hi Ali,
It did come out cute!! What a creative way to capture your student's enthusiasm. I bet they loved participating in your video. Nice pictures, too. Good Job!

I agree - it is creative and exciting! I think the TIME is perfect for students at that age level. Beautiful vidoeography!

Great video Ali! I love the use of student voices and the pictures that you used. Just as a suggestion, you may want to add some subtitles in order to emphasize certain keywords in the video.

What a cute video! The timing is perfect, and the students enthusiasm is contagious. The pictures you used were great, and so were the transitions between scenes. I agree with BD that maybe some subtitles would help to emphasize what stage you are referring to. Good job!

Your video was student driven, and user friendly. Loved how you incorporated them into your video.
When important, new vocabulary is mentioned, maybe have the word come up on a slide so viewers can see the word. Great job!

Hey Alison,

Love the fact that your students are narrating your butterfly video. It is student driven and easy to understand for the age range you are targeting. Some suggestions for revisions might be adding music to your opening and closing slides. Also, maybe have a couple of title slides with key words for vocabulary, like ‘Larva’ and ‘Pupa’.

Adorable. Very engaging for kids to hear the voices of children. I would definitely add some vocab slides with those "new" words. Maybe even an illustration or image of a particular stage with the word written out.
Great video.
