The student wrote a fantasy story called "The Witches War" that included magical characters and an adventure plot with a happy ending. They enjoyed creating details for the setting and characters. During drafting, the student learned to add more descriptive details to their writing. For the digital story, the student was the script writer and worked hard to include sufficient dialogue. They were proud of how the sound and voices turned out in the finished movie. Through this storytelling project, the student gained new technology skills in video editing and learned to collaborate effectively in a group.

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.
