The student wrote a fantasy story called "The Witches War" about a character with magic powers. They enjoyed creating the setting, which included castles on another planet. During the planning phase, the student struggled to write about one character because they thought there was only a wizard in the story. In the drafting phase, the student liked writing the story and adding dialogue and details. For the digital phase, the student was proud that their movie had images in the correct order and they learned skills in iMovie. When collaborating, the student sometimes enjoyed group work when others helped, but other times disliked when ideas were ignored. Overall, the student enjoyed making the plot diagram and wants to continue improving their writing.

1. Story-telling Reflection
My Story is called The Witches War.
The Planning Phase:
I chose to write a fantasy genre because in our story we wanted have a character
who had magic powers and we also chose to include adventure soit had a happy
ending.The most interesting character in my story is Ozwick because he had so
much detail in his introduction. I enjoyed creating the setting becausethe color
looked amazing to me and I liked our castles.While making my plot diagram, I
found it difficult to write about Melisa because I thought our story only had a
Wizard in it and I didn’t know enough about her.
My best idea during planning was the setting on another planet. While planning
this story I learnt toput more detail in it.
The Drafting Phase:
It was enjoyable to write my story I like to write stories by myself.I am proud of
my story becauseit has dialogue in it and they are details in it.During the Writing
Workshops, I became better at writing sentence with details.If I wrote it again, I
would improve my story by writing with even more detail.
The Digital Phase:
I am proud of my movie becauseit has the images in order.
I found it easy to create the storyboard because its like clicking in the space, then
it could hear it and I could remove it. I found that easy.My role was to be the
script writer.I worked especially hard atscript because sometimes we need more
dialogue in it.The thing I am most happy with is the sound because the sound and
voice sounds really nice.
While making the movie, I learned many new technology skills in iMovie about how to trim
the little bit that sounds like a clunk.I became much better at remove the space.If I made the
movie again, I would try to do my best.

2. Collaboration:
Sometimes, I enjoyed group work because they could help us if we didn’t
finish.Other times, I didn’t enjoy group work because it doesn’t help us if the
group just ignores an idea.While working in a group, I learned how to put the
sounds in the right order.During the unit, our group became better at zooming and
panning.
What else?
During this story-telling unit I especially enjoyed doing the plot diagram because it
helped me to think.After this unit, I might continue to improve my writing and
make it better.
