If there is anything on your production for the past four weeks has not been completed explain why?
We are currently working on everything as planned. We are following our production schedule and everything is mostly up to date.

Explain any unexpected challenges and or obstacles you have run into?
One of the main unexpected challenges is that the students are not aware of the media production of how they portray Islam. They are also unaware of the fact that Islam is one of the main religions in the word that is always associated with violence and danger. Due to these facts we choose to portray Islam from children’s point of view and how it is important to show how normal and happy they are.

Reflect on what you have learned about your topic that you will be able to apply to your project and how you will be applying this knowledge?
We have learned that Islam in America especially to Saudi children is not very difficult to practice. There are many modern Islamic movements, but we would like to capture how these young children are taught from a young age that Islam can be practiced anywhere at anytime. The time and place does not control how a childe or adult choose to live their life.

Is there anything you would like to change about your project as proposed?
No
