The unit I want to teach a special needs student

Two month ago the school asked me to sit with an eight grader student who was hospitalized for three month due to a heart surgery she had. I am supposed to help her catch up with the material that she missed. The girl is actually gifted, therefore it is easy to catch up with the material but even though she is smart her self esteem is very low. Her physical appearance, the fact she was not in school for so long, and her poor social skills made her not to have any friends.
After working for the meithav that took place yesterday, we have the time to work on this project. When I offered her the project she got really excited and she said she wants to do it about her favorite animal, the cat.
Next week she is supposed to hand in the text of what she is going to say in the short clip using windows movie maker. I want to movie to be one minute long and include at least 10 different pictures and music at the background.
Grading:
Text – 65 points (hand in two drafts for me to check) information is clear and to the point using your words.
Clear speech- 15 points
Pictures- 10 points
Music- 5 points
Effects- 5 points
Bonus if the movie is creative in some way.

I will be happy to hear any comments that can make this project more beneficial.
