Analyst' questions

Hello guys its Beckie here and I am the analyst for this week, and this week has been very eventful. We had a visit from Manel Rives and his talk about ipads in the classroom. We also had to make a comic, story and stop motion mini film.

What was the best part of the activity?

 It was definatly using the ipads to make the comic and story about dinosaurs, it was pretty cool. The funniest part was when Antonio Luis and me we assigned to make the story and we had to move the characters to make them speak, and because we couldnt move them properly my character started facing the wrong way and Antonio Luis improvised and said "Dont turn your back on me... i said dont turn your back on me!".

What was the worst part of the activity?

I honestly beleive there was no worst part this week.

What was the best moment of the week (work wise)?

The best moment work wise was when we were trying to make the comic on the ipad all together. It was pretty stressfull but fun at the same time, especially when we made the background for the dinosaurs too small...

What was the worst moment of the week?

The worse part was having to come to school on Friday after a looooong night out...

What have you learnt?

I think we have all learnt just how times are changing and how important technology is and therefore their new importance and incorporation in the classroom.

What do you need to conserve as a group for next week?

I suppose our teamwork and humour, we had such a laugh last week with the ipad session.

What do you need to improve as a group for next week?

I think we need to improve on our sress levels as we do annoy each other at times!

Star reflexion!

HI!
I´m Antonio Luis, the star of the week, and fortunately I don´t have to expose anything in class this week =), but I have to explain our STOP MOTION which my mate Berta put in the blog.


Our work is starring by "dinos"(as all of stop motion of the class), and we tried to show a little more about dinosaurs. Just a little, because it´s a difficult activity, and we need to spend a lot of time, and we don´t have it, so we focused our activity in give information about them "diet".


We could find vegeterian "dinos", as the first "dino" that appear in the video, which eat only plants (plants that there were milions of years ago in the earth). However, there were carnivorous "dinos", as the second "dino" that appear in the video, which eat others dinosaurs (for instance, vegeteterian "dinos" as you can see in our story).


We had this idea, and then we tried to show in an animation, a part of the natural process that we could see in a few steps: Firstly, vegetarian "dinos", ate the plants that there were in the earth. Then, carnivorous "dinos" ate others "dinos" (vegetarian or carnivorous). It´s a longer process, but we only show this part, the beggining, but why not? Maybe, we´ll be alble to make the second part of the process.. We´ll think about it.


If you think, it is the same natural proccess that we can see nowadays. Milions of years have passed and "everything" is the same. It could be a good relexion..


That´s all...but I´ll come back, I promise =)
