      1. Level 1 is a video that does not relate to how we do things in this classroom, so we will not be watching it.
      2. Levels 2-5 are meant to build new skills.
      3. Level 6 is a video that students will watch on their own.
      4. Levels 7-8 are additional skill building levels.
      5. Level 9 is a CHALLENGE Level and therefore is extra credit.
      6. Levels 10-12 are Practice Levels to review what has been learned.
    4. Grading Rubric:
      1. Students earn 1 point for each level turned BRIGHT GREEN by completing it.
