  • Using background remover and magic eraser
Each mission focuses on one core skill at a time, keeping tasks clear, achievable, and age-appropriate.
🧠 Built-In Assessment (No Extra Prep)
Students finish by completing a self-assessment rubric using simple “I Can” statements:
  • 3 – Quest Master: I can do this on my own
  • 2 – Quest Explorer: I can do this with help

Teachers can collect the final slide as evidence or use the rubric for informal grading and feedback.
