1. Story-telling Reflection
My Story is called Alien Destiny.
I chose to write a fantasy/adventure genre because I like magic and doing
missions.The most interesting thing about my main characters is that they
turned into monsters and then they came back to people in the last part.I
enjoyed creating the setting because I liked to work with computers.While
making my plot diagram, I found it difficult to make the climax and conclusion.
My best idea during planning was making panning and zooming.
While planning this story I learned how to make stories with computers and
how to pan and zoom.
The Drafting Phase:
It was difficult to write my story because before making stories we found songs
to design pictures and it was hard to record and color.
I am proud of my story because I did my best and I did teamwork.
During the Writing Workshops, I became better at coloring, finding music and
recording voices. If I wrote it again, I would improve my story by coloring better
and I would make a better sound with my voice in the recording.
The Digital Phase:
I am proud of my movie because the song was great and I recorded it well.I
found it difficult to create the storyboard because it was hard to put all of those
words into a short script. My role was to be the soundtrack engineer.I worked
especially hard at finding songs for the soundtrack. The thing I am most happy
with is the sound recording.While making the movie, I learned many new
technology skills in iMovie. I became much better at putting pictures and
cutting pictures.If I made the movie again, I would try to make the picture
better and I will make the coloring better.
Collaboration:
Sometimes, I enjoyed group work because I didn’t have many friends in
Grade3.Other times, I didn’t enjoy group work because I wanted to do it by
myself.While working in a group, I learnedhow to not complain.During the unit,
our group became better at coloring, drawing, and story making.
What else?
During this story-telling unit I especially enjoyed coloring pictures and finding
songs.After this unit, I might continue to make stories.
