= Planning Your Project =
 * //Our Pitch: Have you ever thought how terrible the world has been to itself? Have you ever wondered why the world is like it is? Well we are making a movie to reveal some of the main reasons why conflict exists in this world and what might be some of the ways to put a stop to it. Our film will show some of the terrible and disturbing things that the world has been doing, we will show how much the world is suffering to state a strong message to people that we have to change and bring peace before we destroy ourselves. We plan to make the film catchy and interesting so that people will actually want to watch the film, we don't want our film to be boring because people will just stop watching the film. We will create this film for all ages so anyone can watch it. Our goal is to bring people to realization how much we need to change and how. We will also show some of the ways on how to bring peace to people and how we can all agree with each other and stop war. We will give a clear message in a catchy movie, so people will hopefully watch with interest but they will also understand the massage and maybe even d something about all the conflict. We want this to reach everyone so we will post this on You Tube where everyone can see it, lots of people go to You Tube so I'm sure people will watch. One thing that people do is that they share things with other people, if someone likes our film then they just might show others and people can keep showing each other until a lot of people know about this. You Tube is a great place to make this public. Our film has very high chances of being successful, plus if some one important watches it then there really could be change in the world. We will do a presentation film where there will be pictures of people suffering, then we will be speaking about all the things that are happening all over the world. We will do research to find out about a lot of the things happening on earth and we will interview people for i9deas on how to make peace. Our project can be extermely successful.//**

Phase 1: Defining Your Task
//Describe what you need to do in this project. You'll want to pay close attention to the 'Skills and Understandings' you will need to demonstrate by the end of the project.// //Here you can begin brainstorming different ways to complete 'The Project Challenge'//
 * //We need to do research and then we will create sort of a speech from all the learning and then we will make a powerpoint and add our voices and so that is how we will complete the project challenge.//**

Phase 2: Seeking Information
//What kinds of information will you need so you can complete this project?// //What kinds of resources can you use to find this information?// //**The information that we need is why there is war and how it's caused. How we can stop it. For peace we need to find out why is there peace when there is so much war and how we can make peace. We are also going to find pics from the internet. We can also take pictures our selves.**//

Phase 3: Locating Information
//Where are you going to find this information?// //Here you want to begin building a specific list of your sources. Whenever you find a new resource add it to this list.// //If you are going to use websites please add them to our Diigo Bookmarks//
 * //We are mainly using Google, Wikipedia and Ask.com for the in//**

Phase 4: Gathering Useful Information
//This is the place to collect all your notes and ideas for this project. If you are working with partners each person will add their notes to this section.// //After each entry, please remember to include your source of information in parentheses.. For example: (www.findingpeace.org) or (The Kid's Guide to Solving Conflicts by G.Ideeus)//
 * //Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a perfectly rich man but when he saw that his country was in need, he gave up everything for India. His main ambition was to be free from the British not by war or fighting, but by noncooperation. ahae didn't cooperate with the government and did not do what he was told. Gandhi helped expand womens rights, he brought ethnic and religious harmony and he put a stop to untouchability. One of Gandhi's famous acts is the Dandi March, he marched for salt the indians were making salt, the brtish were taking it from them and selling it back with a higher price, Gandhi decided to make his own salt, about ten thousand people got together with him to marched across the city the soldiers kept hurting the people but more kept coming and coming and coming, in the end they had to give up and in the end, they got to make their own salt. SOURCE: Gandhi, the Movie.//**

Phase 5: Synthesis
//Describe how you are going to __demonstrate__ your new understandings.// //Describe what you will produce to __promote__ an understanding of conflict and peace.//
 * //We are making a slideshow to show all our learning and each of us will talk about our own research that we ourselves learnt. Our definition of peace is when people have what they need andlive together in harmony.//**

Phase 6: Evaluation
//How will you know when you have successfully completed this project?// //What rubric will you want me to use to assess if you have successfully demonstrated the Skills and Understandings of this project?//
 * //This is our Rubric//**
 * 5 ||  3  ||  1  ||
 * We display accurate knowledge and solid information. We show an example of good research. || We dijisplay somewhat accurate knowledge, but not all of it makes sense. You can tell we could have done some more research. || The knowledge we display is all a mess that doesn’t make any sense and you can tell the research is bad. ||
 * We both talk about the research we each did individually and that shows our learning. || One person talks more and the other person says very little, you can see that the research wasn’t very equal. || Both people don’t talk, stumble over words and it is clear they are not prepared. Seems like no one did research. ||
 * Pictures are not pixilated and make sense with the audio, audio is clear, slideshow is catchy and interesting. People want to watch it and understand us. too || Some pictures are pixilated and some don’t mach with the audio. The audio is blurry. The slide show gets boring some time but sometimes people tend to want to stop watching. || Lots or all of the pictures are pixilated, and they don’t make sense with audio. Audio is incomprehensible and people don’t really want to watch, the massage is confusing and unclear. ||
