The Story of a Flower: Digital Video/Quilt Project

Your Task: For this assignment, you will be put into groups and asked to explore the different stages of growth of a flower of your choice.  I will provide different flowers to choose from.  Using a worksheet to guide your research, you will then put your information into a quilt project as part of a documentary about how flowers grow.  The groups will be assigned to either the planting of the seed, the watering process or the power of sunshine.  After I approve your research you will develop a brief script (no more than 2 minutes) based on your information.  Once your script is edited and approved, we will film your section of the documentary and prepare them for a final viewing party! 

Here are the topics assigned to each group:
Group 1: Planting the Seed
Group 2: The Watering Process
Group 3: The Power of Sunshine




Here is a copy of the rubric.  I will provide this for you, you do not need to print it.
