How were the class using Adobe Express?​

Both classes were tasked to create an animated Halloween graphic with cut out text, moving images, sounds and video effects.​

They could then design a webpage detailing at least 1 Halloween tradition from around the UK, discovered through prior research.​

To complete the project, they added their video into their webpage​.
