Assessment:
 This project is a culmination of everything the students have learned in class this semester. Their ability to complete this
project will serve as a way to assess their overall progress over the course of the semester.

Reflection:
 After completing this project, I think that the students have developed a greater understanding of the material we have
covered so far this semester. Their composition skills have improved and they are more comfortable with creating on their
own without so much help from me. This was a very successful project and one that I think the students will be proud of.
