The student wrote a fantasy story called "My Story" with three main characters: Tiax, Tork, and Slun. Tork is the most interesting character because he tragically dies saving Earth from an invading alien force. The student enjoyed creating the setting and working with their group to share ideas. They created a new planet where the aliens lived under the rule of Master Electro. The student found writing the story enjoyable but sometimes got stuck, and they learned how to improve elements like dialogue and detail in workshops. They are proud of their movie which contained a lot of effort and digital work. The student worked hard on the script and dialogue but wishes they spoke more clearly when recording. They learned new computer skills from

1. Story-telling Reflection
My Story is called…
The Planning Phase:
I chose to write a fantasy genre because when you are writing a fantasy story you have a
wider rang of things to put into your story and what I mean is that in a realistic stories you
don’t have a lot of characters or places or even imagination. I also would say that at the
beginning my group immediately wanted it to be a fantasy space story.
The most interesting thing about my main character? Well,actually I have three main
character’swho are Tiax, Tork and Slun. But if you want it exactly straight then I would
say that it is Tork because has a lot of script and at the end he tragically dies to save the
people on Earth from the invading alien force.
I enjoyed creating the setting because it was fun to talk with my group and just share our
ideas and work together while writing.
While making my plot diagram, I found it difficult to get all those different and all those
wonderful ideas into the plot.My best idea during planning was to create a new planet for
the story where the aliens lived. That’s where they were under the power of master
electro.While planning this story I learned more effective ways to make my story the best
that it could be.
The Drafting Phase:
It was enjoyable and difficult to write my story because sometimes I got stuck but there were
times when ideas didn’t stop coming into my head.During the Writing Workshops, I became
better at knowing where to put my capital letters and periods. If I wrote it again, I would
improve my story by adding more detail and the new things that I learned during the
writing workshop (about dialogue, sentences and story starts).
The Digital Phase:
I am proud of my movie because it has a lot of effort in it and also a lot of digital work.I
found it easy to create the storyboard because I already had my story perfectly planned on
my poster.My role was to be the scriptwriter and narrator.I worked especially hard at
getting a lot of dialogue and detail into my script.The thing I am most happy with is that I
got the story finished. While making the movie, I learned many new technology skills in
iMovie. If I made the movie again, I would try to speak more clearly when I am recording
because I was pretty much mumbling the whole way through.
Collaboration:

2. Sometimes, I enjoyed group work because I would never would be finished all that digital
work by now because I am pretty bad at the computer (but not in computer games).Other
times, I didn’t enjoy group work because it was just frustrating keeping Dennis on task.
While working in a group, I learned a lot of new things on the computer because as I said
so that I am pretty bad at computers.
During the unit, our group became better at working together and agreeing to the ideas of
other people.
What else?
During this story-telling unit I especially enjoyed writing my script and putting all the ideas
onto my group’s poster.After this unit, I might continue to write a few little stories.
