Each student is reflecting on a topic in their life on how they have tried to complete something but have failed only later with hard work found out they could succeed.  They will be creating a digital flip book in art to show their story.  Students should have their artwork completed so they can be working on the film portion of the digital flipbook.

Here are some pictures of the class diligently working during art class.
