Hi Everybody !
This week was the very beginning of the story ! It was the first time we talked about our story, so we just had to find the storyline of our story. But don't forget that the storyline is only the skeleton of our story !
First we had to go on Audacity (a software where we can record our voices while we are talking, very useful !) and on Free Screen to Video (a software which records everything you are doing on your computer) but we couldn't open it, so we only went on Audacity !
Talking about our future story was in fact quite simple : we had to find the main topic, the type, the narrator, the outline, and we had to define the main characters. My team and I almost agreed on everything ! We wanted a friendship between a little girl and an animal. But which animal ? A bird ? An elephant ? A cat ? Finally we agreed on a mouse : small, cute, not frightening, what could be better ? We knew right away that our story would be in a fantastic register and that the story would be narrated by an omniscient narrator.
Now let's talk about our story :
Once upon a time there was a little girl who was an orphan. She was all alone and no one cared about her. The nurses in charge of the orphanage were very mean with her, she was always punished and everyone laughed at her. But one day, the little girl saw a mouse walking out of the wall ! She talked to it, they became friends and since then they have never left each other!
In our story we wanted to insert a special moral : "You can't judge a book by its cover". DONE !
Then, at the end of the class, our teacher gave us a sheet of paper called "Our weekly reflexive diary". It will help us to organize our ideas, face the difficulties we will meet during the class etc...
In this course I had difficulties to build my sentences. It was hard to find my words therefore I will have to work on the vocabulary ! We learnt how to use Audacity quite well, but we forgot to give our work back to the teacher... Oops ! But we also had a problem with Free Screen to Video which didn't work... We just have to hope that it will work next week !
I think that the most important thing I have learnt was to listen to each others. In a team, talking is something of major importance, we have to debate on ideas to pick the best ones ! Thank God, for the moment we haven't killed each other yet ;)
