2. Making of “Two very hungry tadpoles”
Our English teachers explained to us a different work. A
competition! The first fairy tales competition in English
for Pre-school and Primary schools.
First, the teachers explained that we had to do an
adaptation of a story. We could change the vocabulary,
the characters and the stage.
We chose “the very hungry caterpillar”
because it’s a fairy tale that we
worked in 1st grade.

very hungry caterpillar”. She’s the mum of our
classmate Zarar and she is an English teacher, too.

After that, we decided the groups to work. We
worked divided in five groups: Writers,
illustrators, publishers and two groups of the

After deciding the groups, everybody started to
work.

Publishers created a template with the
computer to decide the design of each page of
the book. We looked for different kinds of
camera shoots to decide the right one for each
page to build up the stop motion.
