 * ISTE and Common Core Standards:

Assignment: (Movie Rubric)
 * 1) You will work in assigned groups to plan a public service movie message representing Learning at ICS to parents. Within the groups you will brainstorm the topic We are LIfe-Long Learners, then plan a movie.
 * 2) You will plan and film the movie together. Someone in the group will manage the camera. Others will act in the movie.
 * 3) The raw footage will be uploaded to WeVideo and shared with the other members of the group.
 * 4) Each of you will edit the raw footage to produce your own final version, e.g. you will each be responsible for creating a final product.
 * 5) The final version must be 30-90 seconds long.

Essential Questions to consider:
 * 1) What is learning?
 * 2) How do we learn?
 * 3) What is growth mindset? How does Pope Francis' Tweet on Jul 15 encourage a growth mindset? "Dear young people, do not be mediocre; the Christian life challenges us with great ideals." Or his tweet of April 26, 2013, "Dear young people, do not bury your talents, the gifts that God has given you! Do not be afraid to dream of great things!"
 * 4) Why is life-long learning in the ICS mission statement? How do we become life-long learners?
