WRITE A "BIOGRAPHY" OF AT LEAST 275 WORDS according to the requirements of the animal shelter, including the images and videos in the bio. Substantial bonus points will be awarded for editing the multimedia, especially for adding music etc. (See below for some examples from this class.) For the APA cat requirements see below. The onsite counselor is the only person who can answer questions about that particular cat. The bios do not have to cover every aspect of the cat as long as his or her personality is captured. So, some of the questions/answers can be left out of the bio. If they seem important, then the student may have to do a followup visit. This is not a first draft, but your best writing. It should be the result of careful proofreading, for this will be published for all to see and animal's fate depends on your writing.
examples of good, bonus-point, edited videos
Animato.com is preferred by APA because it produces small files but good effects:
Using animato.com with music, animated background, slide show, and "adopt me": Oprah, by Manatee
Using animato.com with music, slide show: Maggie, by Manatee

Windows Movie Maker is also excellent, though it requires 32-bit plug-in on a Mac:
Using Windows Movie Maker for high-quality big screens mixing music, video, stills, and excellent opening and closing screens: Molly, and Prudence, by Hummingbird
