Spring Break Xtra Credit Opportunities
Simple, recreate the Cellular Respiration Video but this time with you as the star. Yes, you have to be in it. Yes, you also have to recreate the animations - although they don’t have to be animation, you can just move the pieces with your hand. Yes, you can alter it so you are speaking whole time. And yes, you add your own twist. Turn it in via Google Classroom by Monday (4/11).
