1. All scripts, storyboards, photos etc should be posted with everyone’s comments on how these
answer the project task question you have been assigned (You MAY choose to extract certain quality postings/responses to showcase during your presentation)

2. The actual movie/documentary and photo journal can be displayed.(Checked)

3. You should also post blog entries discussing the oral presentation and how you would organise it
to make it interesting for the audience. Your oral presentation should address the following
processes:

a) What’s your project question /task and what is your understanding of this question? How have you
managed to answer this project question through the project research and work you have done?

b) What were the roles and responsibilities of each member and what was done to ensure that
everyone contributed? What problems were encountered and how did you solve these as a group? (CHECKED)

c) Explain your concept of the documentary and how does this documentary answer the project task
focus or question.  

Explain clearly why you have chosen to present the documentary in this way ,
explain the ideas behind the way you plan the storyboard, the different scenes and why certain
scenes are chosen and what you intend to show with these ( include details abt camera angles/shot
types, music, narration text, sequence of scenes, focus of video and what is the message you wish to
communicate).  The same questions can be applied for the photo journal.

d) Reflection on Learning – must be specific in terms of what skills esp thinking skills, analysis skills,
planning skills, team management skills, visual skills, history skills, language related like writing
skills, presenting information etc (CHECKED)

I’m just typing out a brief script for the presentation.

We need the roles allocations for our documentary and our project work so i found the links to it:

For the roles allocations for documentary: http://2eproject2008.edublogs.org/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=12

For the roles allocations for our project work: http://2eproject2008.edublogs.org/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=3

Everyone must remember to online so that we can organized our roles before tomorrow.

This will be the sequence of our presentation if everything goes well and there’s no objection.

1) Powerpoint slides:

• Introduction of the task we are been set/question we are answering.
• Problems we had encountered and how we solve them.
• Roles allocation for pw and documentary. Present on our own roles.
• Start story of process. ( Brief intro of how we show the process of our question.)
• Talk about documentary.(Part by part.)
• Back to powerpoint slides
• present on why we didn’t choose elizabeth choy or other heroes in our documentary. 
• Introduction about Adnan Bin saidi(mindmap.)(short part only.)
• Reflections, group and individual.

Things to take note of:

 When presenting

• try not to read from script. (try to read one or two sentences before reading out loud to the audience)
• When explaining scene selection, please remind the person that is controlling the video to stop on the scene.
• Must be loud and clear.(how you speak or present are counted as your individual marks.)

I think I’ll post briefly what the presentation will be like on wednesday in case some of us do not know.After discussing about ideas from sunarsih, derek, Nicholas and Julia,we came up with a plan.

Julia is in charge of making the powerpoint and Derek and sunarsih is in charge of the new blog which will contains all the posts that we had.For the rest of us, we shall post comments at the discussion board, but since we do not have one, i had created a new one.

I hope that we can post suggestions and ideas on how we can present our oral presentation.

Please post comments under this blog post.Even one will do.

I would like to ask all of you whether we should present the documentary first or in the middle of the presentation? Or should it be better if we present the powerpoint slides first , then our blog and lastly our documentary?

This are just some suggestions that I made so please reply and tell me if any of you had better ideas or agree with me.Thanks!

I will be posting the problems that we encountered during the project and how we solve them by tomorrow, or by today.

However, I hope all of you or some of you can post comments under this post so that this catergory can be improved.

1) Communication problems – Sometimes, we cannot contact each other as we had different activites after school like CCA .

 How we solve it : We meet online at a certain time, on msn messenger and discuss about our project.We also used this project blog as a discussion place.

2) Time management – We cannot finish our project on time and some members don’t seem to be posting any posts or doing their roles at all.

How we solve it : We send messages to each others to remind them about their roles and we use various ways like email and project blog to send datelines about the work that they are supposed to finish their job or help them to do some parts of their work.

3) Lack of information on what each of us are supposed to do : sometimes we do not know what we are supposed to do, for example : This presentation’s contents.

How we solve it : We ask for information from other groups and check the class blog reguarly for information about our task.

d) Reflection on Learning – must be specific in terms of what skills esp thinking skills, analysis skills,planning skills, team management skills, visual skills, history skills, language related like writing skills, presenting information etc.

We learnt how to plan about what we are going to do next. We also know that planning is a very important process. Planning also helped us organise our project.I feel that our language has also improved though this project. We learnt to use proper english and not singlish. I think we are also more aware of our grammar and spelling errors.

We also learnt how to think more, instead of just saying something and not explaining more. I learnt how to explain much more clearly, enough for everyone to understand. We also can visualise things from either picture sources or from movies, and at the same time analysing them for important details.

When we are presenting information, we should make the information clearer, and also show evidence for the points we make.

For the presentation on friday, we need to divide our parts…

I’ll do qn b as told in the contents that is found at our class blog, which is:

” b) What were the roles and responsibilities of each member and what was done to ensure that everyone contributed? What problems were encountered and how did you solve these as a group? ”

We need to include some of the reflections that we had done, in group and individual. Kangling had just posted a new reflection and we can use that.

Dearest group members,

I hope all of you are glad that our editing for our documentary is done. However, we still have our presentation and documentary to present when school reopens.I’m not very sure what the presentation will be on,but i hope that some of us can edit the current one.Maybe the slides are on what we had done and learnt or what we had encountered during the process that we had gone through.

I hoped that some of you can reply to this post so that I can know what we are going to do for our presentation slides.Interaction in this project work blog will also contributes to our marks for july. Let’s work hard by giving comments daily or twice a week!

Lastly, happy holidays!
