Both of these examples give us a great idea of how you should complete your famous Missourian autobiography video using Windows Movie Maker.

*Please make sure to go over the rubric before and after submitting your project. 

After your video project is complete we will have a living Missouri history museum in our classroom. You will have to compile a short paragraph on a notecard about yourself as the famous Missourian. You will also be asked to dress as if you are your famous Missourian. We will allow other classes to come in to our museum and hear about each of our famous Missourians. This is also part of your overall grade.
