Animoto volcano project, Mrs. Mescal 5/19 + 5/20

Hello, Mrs. Mescal's students! Here are the directions for BOTH your volcano research, and how to make your Animoto video.

For your volcano Animoto project you'll be expected to create an original, informative Animoto presentation with specific facts and images of a famous volcano.

Research your volcano using a minimum of 3 reliable online sources and your Science textbook. Make sure to document the 3 best online sources you used on your handout. Include the website name and address!

Please refer to your handout for the 10 required parts of your video.
