Name of the team members: Mariana Sanchez and

Laura Murcia
Grade:
Observations: Very good job in general! Your video ideas
are very cool, make sure you explain the idiom at the end and
make sure you have the materials you need. I needed to make
A LOT of modifications to your script, you did not add the
idioms to it, and you forgot to add the second song (I already
added it), you are missing one song at the end, think about
that.
Final grade: 5/8

Read instructions carefully. When you finish, send it through

Phidias to your Language and Literature teacher, Miss Pamela Prez.
