"Animals around the World": our point of view.

This is our point of view on "Animals around the World".

-When we watched the telling-story for the first time we said "It's just great !" We really like the story. They are no many things to change. Let's begin by the positive points:

   *First, through the story children can learn many vocabularies about animals, colors and continents.

   *Then, we think that the combination between pictures, the writing of animals names and the pronunciation is really  good; it permits to the children to memorize more easily.

   *An other positive point is that the pronunciation is really clear and understandable for children. We want to add  that  the voice is really catchy.

-There are not many things to say about the negatives aspects. For us the only negative point is the length of story: 

   *The story is too long: 25 slides!

   * We think also that the beginning of story is unnecessary. Indeed there are 8 slides to present the story, but just two or three slides can be enough. (For example: Saying that it's the story of a little girl (first slide), she is at her grandparents' home and she is bored (second slide), and she finds a book (third slide). You see ?

-To conclude we think that the story and the narration are just perfect! You have done a  great work ! :) The only thing which can be changed is to shrink the beginning of story. 

The last problem we had!

There is one thing we didn't talk about: our last problem the day when we had to give our final story!
I'm just going to write a little article to explain what happened.

Yes, actually, we had a problem! In our story, we had recorded "black" bear whereas our drawings represented brown bear. We thought to say "ours brun" we had to say "black bear", but it was stupid to not check, actually we had a lot of work and we didn't pay attention. A big mistake and a big problem for us and our story! 
So, we had three solutions: 
1. To change the color in our drawings with an application but it was not pretty.
2. To change the color in our drawings with pencil, to scan them again but if we did that, we had to record again all our voice to tell the story and it was not possible in a very short moment.
3. Just record again 2 slides, saying "brown" instead "black". We choose that because our general  topic in the story is the difference, so instead to have 2 differences (black and white) he have three (black, white and brown).

Honestly, i was scared to give our story with that problem because it would be very confused for the children, and it really was a stupid mistake! But i think we found a good solution, no?

My mood:

(because today it's my birthday hahaha)

Negative points:

-What I have learnt ?
I have learnt lots of things...
  *how to create a video and use Voicethread
  *how to draw a panda and a bear ^^
  *how to use Wordle
  *vocabulary (I had to search words when I wrote artciles on the blog)
  *teaching methods
  *learning methods

Last things... To answer to your question Marie I would like to say something:  the propability that Théo writes an article on the blog is as high as France wons the FIFA World Cup 2014:  very very low but I keep hope! Aha :D

This project has permitted me to make new friends (let's write a new story: Marie and her new friends ahaha:). It revealed me that Maylis and Theo are very nice and very funny (things that I already knew about Selin)
If I was one of the child who will see our story, I would really enjoy it, really.
But it's my own point of view ;)

I really like working in groups and this story has confirmed that: with the ideas of everyone we can make something really good :)

We are all creatives and imaginatives (making brown and white bears live together... strange idea isn't it?)

but I think our world needs this imagination, no?


Here is my little bilan... I don't need a long article to tell you that I like you and our work.


I've got a question. Is Theo gonna write his FIRST article this week?

                                  a) Yes

                                  b) No

                                  c) Keep hope

                                  d) Joker
